fellowshipu

FellowshipU is a global fellowship program and platform designed to support early-career professionals, researchers, and practitioners through stipends, mentorship, and professional development. It connects fellows with host organizations across academia, industry, government, and civil society, enabling collaborative projects with social impact. The program operates online and through regional hubs, providing training, networking events, and access to a diverse peer community.

FellowshipU offers several tracks aligned with domains such as science and engineering, technology and entrepreneurship, public policy, and arts and humanities. Each track provides a defined fellowship period, a project plan, and a condensed curriculum that blends technical work with leadership and collaboration training. Fellows may receive a stipend, travel support, and access to mentors and facilities within a global network.

Eligibility typically requires early-career status, a relevant track record, and a proposal with potential for measurable impact. Applicants submit a project description, references, and possibly an interview. Selection focuses on feasibility, impact potential, collaboration capacity, and alignment with equity and inclusion goals. Governance is handled by a board and supported by partnerships with universities, foundations, and industry partners.
