Could you or someone you know be an Ashoka Fellow?

 If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else to the Ashoka Fellowship:

1. Please read through the five selection criteria carefully to make sure that the nominee fits our understanding of a leading social entrepreneur.

2. Because we evaluate both the new idea and the individual, the assessment can take a year or longer to complete. To get a better sense of the timeline from nomination to election, take a look at our selection process.

3. Please keep our policies in mind, which include information about funding.

4. If you believe the candidate fits the criteria and policies of the Ashoka Fellowship, please submit the person’s name, organization, contact information, the new idea and how they fit the selection criteria to nominate@ashoka.org.

Ashoka recognizes that it cannot possibly source the world’s leading social entrepreneurs on its own. We thank you in advance for your nomination.
