Dear all,
The below fellowships may be of interest to you:
The Shuttleworth foundation offers fellowships to individuals to
implement their innovative idea for social change. It is most interested
in exceptional ideas at the intersection between openness, technology,
knowledge and learning.
The fellowship is not an academic fellowship aimed at research or
academic study. Applicants should be social change agents who push
boundaries and challenge accepted norms.
Who can apply?
* Anyone who has an innovative idea for social change through fresh
thinking that adds value in the areas of knowledge, learning and technology
* Anyone who has a clear vision of how the world can be a better place
and the contribution they can make to bringing about the 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
This 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.
The Foundation will also support the Fellow to take their good ideas and
turn them into successful initiatives. 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.
Fellows are expected to provide full time and attention to the focus
area selected for their fellowship. The fellowship aims to free up the
time of the Fellow to pursue their ideas in this area. Fellows are
required to attend the bi-annual Fellows gatherings. Fellows are asked
to live out loud, communicating openly and actively on their ideas,
projects and strategies.
Fellowship applications are reviewed by the Shuttleworth Foundation
management team and advisors. Shortlisted candidates are selected for
interviews.
Applications for the 1 September fellowship intake closes 1 May.
Applications for the 1 March fellowship intake close 1 November.
Applications are accepted throughout the year.
