Application Process
You need to submit only one application to be considered for all Atlas Corps professional development programs. Please indicate on your application whether you are interested in the Fellowship, Virtual Leadership Institute, or both.
Atlas Corps considers applications on a rolling basis, though we encourage you to apply as soon as possible to be considered for programs starting soon. The application is a multi-step process.
Atlas Corps accepts applications year-round. We recommend submitting your application as soon as possible to initiate the review process for the Fellowship and/or Virtual Leadership Institute. When you apply for our programs, you’re not applying for a specific start date or a specific Host Organization. You are applying for the opportunity to be considered by Atlas Corps (and potential Host Organizations) for programs starting throughout the year.
We notify selected Fellows and Scholars approximately 4-8 weeks before the start of any program. Acceptance to a Fellowship class or Institute cohort cannot be deferred to a future start date.
