The Open Society Fellowship is no longer accepting applications. This page will be updated with any new information on upcoming grant cycles.
Purpose and Priorities
Since 2008, the Open Society Fellowship has supported heterodox thinkers and practitioners from around the world. The fellowship helps elevate new voices to take part in global conversations on the most pressing issues of our time—from human rights and social justice to climate change and inequality—and provide established public intellectuals new audiences for their work. This year’s fellows will be chosen from selected areas, each home to a dynamic community of thinkers engaged in high-level critical debate. We look forward to announcing the latest group of fellows in spring 2025.
