Worth checking yourself

  • !Last year you had to be a late-stage PhD candidate or hold a PhD, JD or MD, be pre-tenure and be based in the US. The 2026 call does not restate this, so assume it still applies unless 2030STEM says otherwise.
  • !Only five fellows are chosen.
  • !The 2030STEM website still describes last year's fellowship and links a closed form. Use the 2026 application form.
