Description

The TED Fellows program is turning ten years old next year, and looking for the most ambitious class yet. The program will select people from every discipline and every country to be Fellows, and give them support to scale their dreams and scale their impact.

Who are TED Fellows? Fellows are individuals with original work, a record of achievement in their field and exceptional potential. They are also courageous, collaborative people dedicated to improving life where they work.

How do they help you dream bigger? The Fellows program is robust, long-term and, think, unlike any other Fellowship out there. From the open application process to rigorous support systems, they have designed a program that maximizes innovation and collaboration.

Fellows get career coaching and speaker training as well as mentorship and public relations guidance. Fellows also give a talk at a TED Conference, a huge opportunity to share their work with a wide, new audience. And perhaps most important, Fellows join the community of 450+ other Fellows who inspire one another and collaborate on new projects.
