This is an intensive four-month program. I used intensive because it is a full-time residential program based out of Yale’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.
Believe me, you are going to learn, network, expand your vision, grow personally and professionally and do much more as a career person and a leader in this fellowship program. World Fellows contribute to Yale’s intellectual life, give talks and participate on panels, collaborate with peers, audit classes, and mentor students.
The Program runs annually from mid-August to mid-December. So, in case you did not qualify for this, watch out for the next!
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants should be between five and twenty-five years into their professional careers, with demonstrated and significant accomplishments at a regional, national, or international level. The average age of a World Fellow is 39, though there is no minimum or maximum age limit.
- Applicants must be citizens of a country other than the United States. While applicants who hold dual citizenship with the United States are eligible, strong preference is given to candidates whose work is focused outside the United States.
