Description: The Soros Equality Fellowship seeks to support individual leaders influencing and transforming the racial justice field. The aim of the Fellowship is to be flexible and open—a space to incubate new ideas, promote risk-taking, and develop different ways of thinking that challenge and expand our existing assumptions. A successful project should identify a challenge and propose a critical intervention that will meaningfully address the systems that reinforce inequities and discrimination in the United States.
Award: Fellows will typically receive a $130,000 stipend over the 18-month fellowship to support expenses related to the project. The award amount is all-inclusive and is intended to cover a fellow’s living expenses, project-related expenses, travel, conference fees, health insurance, etc.
Eligibility: Candidates should have 10+ years’ experience and significant expertise in their field as well as a track record of success advancing racial justice goals Applicants must be able to devote at least 35 hours per week to the project if awarded a Fellowship; and the project must be the applicant’s only full-time work during the course of the Fellowship. Applicants may be based outside the United States, provided their work directly pertains to a U.S. racial justice issue and is able to demonstrate a proficiency in spoken and written English. Fellows cannot be full-time students. See website for full eligibility details.
