Ethereum Foundation Fellowship Program 2022/2023
Deadline: July 17, 2022
Applications for the Ethereum Foundation Fellowship Program 2022 are now open. The Ethereum Foundation Fellowship Program is a small forum for leaders who, during the course of 6 months, drive their own projects that use Ethereum as a public good destined to help billions of people coordinate and thrive.
Ethereum has already reached millions of people, but to reach the next billion, Ethereum must overcome many gaps in representation across cultures, nationalities, and economic classes.
The Fellowship Program is about bridging these gaps by identifying and supporting unique and talented individuals helping to enable Ethereum’s relevance and breaking down barriers to entry for those underrepresented people and communities who will become the future of web3.
Benefits
- Networking and community-building
- Guidance
- Mentorship

Eligibility
