Applications for fully-funded Ford Fund Fellowship powered by Watson Institute (16-week program from March 2024 to June 2024) are now open. This program equips next-generation, early-stage entrepreneurs with the skills, resources, and experience to scale the impactful ventures they are building. Ford Fund Fellows will advance skills in entrepreneurship and leadership, have the opportunity to earn venture development stipend, garner experience, and build a global network, as they lay the foundation to empower many more individuals and transform their communities.
This program offers virtual and in-person components that allow fellows to take advantage of the global cohort while also focusing on creating local impact within their communities. Virtual Programming includes courses with successful entrepreneurs and skills workshops. In-Person Programming includes Fellow-led Basecamps and Fellow-led meetups.
Up to $6,000 in Venture Development Stipend is available for select Fellows, based on comprehensive performance in the program, progress, and impact throughout the Fellowship.
