While a focus for innovation and the creative application of business theory and practice are indeed essential to the entrepreneur, candidates for the Reynolds Foundation Fellowship will be able to articulate how their practical experience and accomplishments have made an impact on immediate social problems and how this impact might provide a catalyst for sustainable and replicable social transformation. Candidates will have a demonstrated interest in social entrepreneurship and be applying for a master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Harvard School of Public Health, or the Harvard Kennedy School. Fellows must be admitted to their programs in order to take up the Fellowship.

Fellows are required to be in full-time residence at the Graduate School of Education, Harvard Kennedy School, or School of Public Health during their Fellowship year. The Fellowship is for one year.

Fellows are expected to participate fully in the cocurricular program organized by the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School during their studies. Fellows are also encouraged to take at least one course on social entrepreneurship or social enterprise during their studies.

Reynolds Foundation Fellowships are not deferrable.

International applicants are eligible to apply.
