[Biostudent] Announcing the 2023-24 Bonderman Travel Fellowship Competition

[BIOLOGY]

Where would you go if you had eight months to travel solo? Which two regions and six to nine countries would you visit? What experiences would you seek out? How would you be transformed?


Each year a handful of lucky University of Washington students get to make those decisions as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the support of a Bonderman Fellowship. The 2023-24 application is opening on Monday, November 20 and you may be eligible to apply for this $26,000 fellowship that supports independent exploration and travel abroad.<https://bonderman.uw.edu/applying/>


Bonderman Fellows undertake international travel on their own for eight months, to six to nine countries in two or more major regions of the world. Through solo travel fellows focus on exploration and discovery, learning about the world and themselves in it. Each fellowship carries a $26,000 award to be used only for extended solo international travel. Fellows may not conduct research, pursue an academic project, or participate in a formal program or organization.



Applications are due by 12 p.m. (noon) on Monday, January 16, 2024.
