The Open Society Fellowship supports individuals seeking innovative and unconventional approaches to fundamental open society challenges. The fellowship funds work that will enrich public understanding of those challenges and stimulate far-reaching and probing conversations within the Open Society Foundations and in the world.
A fellowship project might identify a problem that has not previously been recognized, develop new policy ideas to address familiar problems, or offer a new advocacy strategy. Fellows should take advantage of the considerable intellectual and logistical resources of the Open Society Foundations and expect to contribute meaningfully to the Foundations’ thinking in return.
The Open Society Fellowship chooses its fellows from a diverse pool of applicants that includes journalists activists, academics, and practitioners in a variety of fields. Applicants should possess a deep understanding of their chosen subject area and a track record of professional accomplishment.

This is the type of support developing economies need in order to leap frog from poverty and other vulnerabilities they face. Open society is actually demonstrating its concern for better society globally. Keep it up.

Among our grassroots projects, in Bunyoro region, Mid western Uganda, we have a ‘Hoima Innocents Center’, which caters for adolescents who were born with HIV, aged between 14-25 years; educate them about reproductive health, avail them chances for social inclusion, life skills training, testing for their life conditions so as to access the right medication. Failure to cater for this age bracket will mean reproducing another generation of children born with HIV.
