To Apply
Applicants must submit their applications via online. On the online system, applicants will have to provide basic contact information and register with the system. Once registered, applicants will be able to proceed to the application itself. All communications from the Open Society Foundations regarding applications will be sent to the email used to register with the online system, so applicants should ensure that email communications from Open Society Foundations do not end up in their "Junk Mail" folder. Complete applications consist of a number of documents that must be uploaded to the online application system: resume, proposal (single-spaced, no more than 3, 000 words), letters of recommendation, and host commitment letter (if applicable). Meanwhile, applicants who are uncertain whether some aspect of their proposed projects fit within the parameters of the Fellowships Program guidelines or whether the projects are otherwise likely to be of interest to the program may submit an email inquiry before proceeding with the full application. The email should provide a brief (no more than 500 words) description of the proposed projects, as well as some background information on the applicants.
