Scholarship Description: The Open Society Fellowship was founded in 2008 to support
individuals pursuing 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.
Tenure of awards: Though most fellowship terms are for one year, the program
will consider requests for shorter or longer duration. 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.
Value: Full-time fellows based in the United States will receive a
stipend of $80,000 or $100,000, depending on work experience, seniority,
and current income. 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: In evaluating each proposal, the selection committee weighs
three factors: the applicant, the topic of the project, and the work
product
Notifications: May 24, 2013.
Scholarship Application Deadline: February 1, 2013
