Anyone who already has a master's degree or PhD. You do not need to currently be a student in order to apply as long as you already have a master's or PhD. Faculty and postdocs are also welcome.
Anyone who is in the process of earning a master's or PhD and only has one year left of their degree program.
Applicants from both inside and outside the United States. We do accept international students. You can participate in the program through any visa that allows you to be in the country and take meetings, e.g. a visa that would enable you to participate in a U.S. conference.

The program is geared towards helping participants find a job in the private sector and we are looking for candidates who want to start within 12 months of completing the fellowship. If you are interested, we encourage you to apply.
