Application requirements
What we look for in an applicant
Advice on the Critical Thinking Exercise

We look for applicants who are diverse, in every sense of the word.
We bring together a cohort of fellows in each region who come from different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, gender identity and sexual orientation, and have wide-ranging experiences in the topics they've studied, the places they've lived, and the work that they've done. We believe that diversity matters and will bring about better solutions.
