East Palo Alto Social Venture Fellowship

The East Palo Alto Social Venture Fellowship is an opportunity for current juniors (and current seniors who will be on campus next year completing a co-term degree). Philanthropic Ventures Foundation external link will award a $10,000 stipend to one or two Stanford students to implement an innovative project that addresses economic, environmental, educational, and/or social needs in East Palo Alto. We encourage projects conceived in concert with existing community-based organizations or governing bodies. The award will primarily be used to fund the project itself, but students may use a portion of it to cover their living expenses (tuition, fees, books, room and board) while carrying out the project. The maximum allowable time to complete the fellowship is 14 months, from June of the year the fellowship is awarded until August of the following year.
