Dear Yatris!!
Shuttleworth Foundation Fellowship offers you the freedom and financial ability to bring about the change you envisage for the world as well as an enabling support structure and an existing network of social change agents.
They fund individuals, as part of a Fellowship programme. The programme does not have strictly defined areas of funding as we have found this restrictive as people do not always fit into boxes.
Previous successful applications have come from individuals working in the following areas:
- Communication and Analytical Skills in Education
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Open and Collaborative Educational Resources
- Open Philanthropy
- Open Science
Who can apply:
- Anyone who has a plan for social change through innovation (fresh thinking that adds value) in the areas of education and technology.
- Anyone who has a clear vision of a changed (improved) world and their contribution to bringing about this change.
- The fellowship is not limited to any specific geographic location. However, applicants must be fluent in English.
- Fellowship applicants must have attained the age of majority by the date of application.
What is the value of the grant:
The equivalent of a year’s salary, a contribution towards expenses plus access to a travel allowance. In addition, the fellow will have access to potential project funding from the Foundation, who will match the Fellow’s personal investment in projects by at least ten fold. The total grant amount will be based on the Fellow’s qualifications, experience and comparable cost of time for their skill level.
Application Timing & Duration:
1 year, with the possibility of renewal, based on review.
Applications are accepted throughout the year. They formally review applications in May for a September intake and November for a March intake. Please make sure you contact us before the deadlines and submit your full application before the 1st May and the 1st November.
The fellowship is not an academic fellowship aimed at research, although research is not excluded. Preference will be given to action based research or practical implementations of innovative ideas.
A Great opportunity !!! Apply soon!!!!!!!!!
