Application and Program Fees

Application and Selection

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, 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.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and applicants are welcome to apply up to a year in advance of the intended start date. However, please note that the deadline to submit applications for a Fall start date is March 15 (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.
