Initial online application- Broadly, we look at five categories: experience, skills, academics, mission alignment, and writing.

Video and Work Product- If your initial online application suggests that you could be a strong fit, we’ll invite you to submit a brief video interview as well as a “work product.” The video allows us to see a bit of your personality and the work product is your chance to display what you’re truly capable of producing.

Phone Interview- Finally, the part when we get to interact! If you still seem like a potential Fellow-in-the-making after the Video and Work Product phase, we’ll chat with you to get to know you better and dig deeper/follow up on the info you provided in the first two phases of the application.

Selection Day- The last thing we need before we can confidently say whether the Fellowship is right for you (and whether you’re right for it) is to meet you and see you in action. Selection Day is a full day of group activities and individual interviews. We pay close attention to your critical thinking/problem solving abilities, interpersonal acumen, character, and mission-alignment as you participate in the high-pressure, rigorous activities—the day is designed to be challenging, but we truly are rooting for you!
