TED Fellows Program

TED Fellows Program (Deadline: March 11)
The TED Fellows Program - an international fellowship bringing entrepreneurs into the TED community - is looking for 20 young innovators to be a part of their 2011 TEDGlobal Fellows class.
The TED Fellows program handpicks world-changing entrepreneurs from around the globe, and brings them to the TED stage - literally and figuratively - to raise international awareness of their remarkable work. All TED Fellows participate as full members of the TED or TEDGlobal conference, as well as a two-day pre-conference event where they collaborate with their peers and deliver their own TEDTalks. The Fellows will also participate actively in the TED community throughout the year, telling their ongoing stories on the TED Fellows blog, contributing to TEDx events, being featured in the online Fellows directory and participating in a private TED social network. There are no monetary awards associated with the TED Fellowship. The program targets individuals from the Asia/Pacific region, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Middle East, though anyone from anywhere in the world, age 18 and over, is welcome to apply. Forty Fellows will be recruited each year. www.ted.com/fellows/apply
