Applying to the Fellows Program

Who should apply

We are soliciting candidates with:

A high degree of interest, experience, and competence in research related to the voluntary, nongovernmental, nonprofit, or philanthropic sector.

A demonstrated track record of conducting independent inquiry and research.

At minimum, a university diploma equivalent to the American Bachelor of Arts or Science degree.

A high degree of English fluency is required as demonstrated by a score of 600 or higher on the TOEFL exam.

Candidates of any nationality are welcome, with the exception that U.S. citizens are excluded from eligibility.

Fellows are required to attend the International Fellows in Philanthropy Conference prior to their fellowship year and are strongly encouraged to participate in subsequent conferences.


How to apply

All applicants for the International Fellows in Philanthropy Program should complete the Application Form. *

The section of the application covering the specific project to be pursued or other intended goals of the Fellow is of particular importance. Applicants should also submit the additional information requested at the same time, which includes two letters of recommendation from nonprofit leaders and/or scholars, a resume or curriculum vitae, and a brief statement of career or educational plans.

Applicants are responsible for seeking their own source of funding (such as their employer, foundation grants, or other public or private training grants or fellowships) and will be asked to provide information regarding the availability of such funding. Please see the Program Fees section for further information before applying.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and applicants are welcome to apply up to a year in advance of their intended start date. However, please note that March 15th is the deadline to submit applications for a Fall start date (a single semester from September-December, or a full academic year from September-May); and October 15 is the deadline for the spring semester (late January-May, single semester only). A committee of nonprofit leaders and scholars will make the selection of program participants and fellowship recipients in conjunction with senior faculty and staff of The Johns Hopkins University.

Return email your completed application materials to Chelsea Newhouse.
