Scholarship Open for Students of Following Countries: International
students can apply for this fellowship.
Scholarship Description: 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
Foundations 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 Foundations and expect to
contribute meaningfully to the Foundations’ thinking in return.
Number of award(s): A small number of applicants are selected as
finalists. The fellowship program considers applications subject to
funding availability.
Duration of award(s): International Fellowship terms are for one year,
the program will consider requests for shorter or longer durations.
Slight preference is given to applications for full-time fellowships,
but the program will consider applicants who can only work part-time
on their projects.
What does it cover? Full-time fellows will receive a stipend of
$80,000 or $100,000, depending on work experience, seniority, and
current income.
-Stipends will be prorated for part-time fellows. The stipend does
not necessarily equal the applicant’s current salary.
-In certain cases, fellows will receive additional financial support
to enable them to meet the residency expectation. In addition to the
stipend, fellows will receive a project budget. That budget may
include expenses such as travel (including airfare and hotel), visa
costs, part-time research assistance, conference fees and health
insurance. Fellowship expenses should not include operational or
programmatic costs, such as employees and physical infrastructure.
-The purpose of the fellowship is to support individual fellows;
therefore the program will only cover individual expenses.
Selection Criteria: Reviewers consider whether the applicant’s
background, track record, and depth of expertise give reason to
believe that the project will be successfully completed and whether
the applicant offers persuasive evidence that the fellowship project
will significantly inform and challenge the Open Society community.
Notification: Applicants are generally notified within four months of
the application deadline. Proposals received by August 1, 2013, will
be evaluated by December 1, 2013. The following deadline will be
February 1, 2014, for evaluation later that year.
How to Apply: All interested applicants should complete the online
application form and submit supporting materials for consideration.
Please read the Tips for a Robust Proposal before applying. Applicants
may submit a project proposal or other materials in a language other
than English, as long as they also submit an English translation.
Certified translations are strongly recommended. Once the initial
information has been entered, applicants receive login details and an
ID number that allows them to make additions and revisions to the form
until materials are submitted. The ID number should be quoted in any
correspondence.
The program strongly encourages applicants to submit only electronic
supporting materials. However, if applicants
have hard copy materials that they feel are essential to the
evaluation of their project, they can list these at the end of the
project proposal. Fellowship staff will reach out to applicants should
it be necessary to review these materials.
Note: Only applicants without Internet access may send an application
by post. A PDF application form can be
downloaded below. All others must apply online.
