Fellowship Guidelines

The Open Society Fellowship supports individuals seeking innovative
and unconventional approaches to fundamental open society challenges.
The fellowship funds work that will enrich public understanding of
those challenges and stimulate far-reaching and probing conversations
within the Open Society Institute and in the world.

A fellowship project might identify a problem that has not previously
been recognized, develop new policy ideas to address familiar
problems, or offer a new advocacy strategy. Fellows should take
advantage of the considerable intellectual and logistical resources of
the Open Society Institute and expect to contribute meaningfully to
OSI's thinking in return.

In evaluating each proposal, the selection committee weighs three
factors: the applicant, the topic of the project, and the work
product.

Proposals are accepted year round, but those received by January 17,
2011 will be evaluated by April 29, 2011. Applications received by
July 18, 2011 will be evaluated by October 28, 2011.
