APPLY: Thiel Fellowship for Young People

The Thiel Fellowship is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. The Fellowship brings together some of the world’s most creative and motivated young people, and helps them bring their most ambitious ideas and projects to life. Thiel Fellows are given a no-strings-attached grant of $100,000 to skip college and focus on their work, their research, and their self-education. They are mentored by our network of visionary thinkers, investors, scientists, and entrepreneurs, who provide guidance and business connections that can’t be replicated in any classroom. Rather than just studying, you’re doing.
The first Thiel Fellows were announced in May 2011. Applications for the next class of fellows are due by 11:59PM, December 31 of the current year. Applicants must be 19 or younger by December 31st of the current year to qualify. We will select the finalists in the spring and expect to announce the new class in May.
