The TED Fellows program is currently accepting applications for the 2022 TED Fellowship. The deadline to submit your application is June 30, 2021 at 11:59pm UTC.
About Fellowship
The TED Fellows Program recognizes people at work on future-shaping ideas, offering them tools to amplify the power of their vision. Each year, a new group of TED Fellows from around the world, and from every discipline, are welcomed into this international community of remarkable thinkers and doers who have shown unusual accomplishment, exceptional courage, strength of character, and potential to create positive change in their respective fields.
Application process
To apply, you’ll submit an application online during our open application cycle.
- Your written application is the primary means for showcasing your work -- tell what makes your work unique and impactful. Please write clearly for a general audience and assume we know nothing about your field. TED only accept applications written in English. We do not accept late submissions.
Once they received your application, they read every application, and therefore the selection process takes time. You can expect to hear back from 8 months after the application closes. All applicants are notified whether or not they have been selected to join the TED Fellows program.
Who should apply
- The TED Fellows Program recognizes the folks working on-the-ground on world-changing ideas -- the doers, makers, inventors, advocates, filmmakers and photographers, musicians and artists, educators, scientists, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and human rights activists.
- If you’re at work on a future-shaping idea and over the age of 18, you should apply.
- The TED Fellows program is not an academic fellowship and non-traditional educations are welcome.
