Deadline: December 5, 2018 

Applications are open for the 2019 Yale Greenberg World Fellows Program. The Maurice R Greenberg World Fellows Program is a four-month, full-time residential program, based out of Yale’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.

The World Fellows program creates space for personal development. At Yale, Fellows work on individual projects, take classes, build relationships with faculty & students, and give talks on topics they care about.

The Program provides World Fellows the opportunity to expand their vision, learn from each other, and grow personally and professionally. World Fellows contribute to Yale’s intellectual life, give talks and participate on panels, collaborate with peers, audit classes, and mentor students.

The program runs from mid-August to mid-December.  Fellows are required to be in residence at Yale for the duration of the program.

Program Components

Key components of the Program are:

  1. WEEKLY SEMINARS:
    • Good society. World Fellows present to each other their vision for making the world a better place, what they do professionally, and how they contribute to building the ‘good society.’
    • Dine and discuss. World Fellows host distinguished guests for discussions on key topics, expanding their knowledge and challenging their views.
  2. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: World Fellows receive individual and group coaching and skills development training. World Fellows can audit many of the 2,000+ courses offered at Yale, work on individual or collaborative projects, and conduct independent research.
  3. HOSTING EVENTS: World Fellows give talks and participate on panels across Yale, sharing their knowledge and expertise with students and faculty.
  4. MENTORING STUDENTS: World Fellows mentor students (both undergraduate and graduate) who apply to be their liaisons. The student liaisons assist World Fellows in putting on events and ensure that they are fully immersed in life at Yale.

The Program also includes trips to New York City and Washington, DC., and a retreat.

  • A modest, furnished one- or two-bedroom apartment for the duration of the program

  • be fluent in English. An excellent command of the English language is essential.
  • be a citizen of a country other than the United States. While dual citizens are eligible, preference is given to candidates whose work is focused outside the US.

Applications to the Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program are accepted from across sectors and around the world. Each class of Fellows is geographically balanced and representative of a wide range of professions, talents, and perspectives.
