Applicants are invited to apply for TED Fellows program which provides transformational support to a global network of 470+ visionaries – scientists, artists, activists, entrepreneurs, doctors, journalists and inventors – who collaborate across disciplines to create positive change around the world.

• The program welcomes anyone over the age of 18 to apply.
• The program looks for different applicants than many other leadership-oriented programs.

• In addition to impressive accomplishment, fine character and a good heart are also important traits they look for in TED Fellows. More than anything, this focus on character has defined the success of the TED Fellows program.
