The Time Fellowship

The Time Initiative Fellowship is a one-of-a-kind fellowship program focused on finding the brightest and most ambitious people committed to creating a world with less age-related disease. 

This program will serve as a talent accelerator of the field’s next leaders to imagine what’s possible, seed deep connections with peers and mentors, and drive the field of aging biology. We want to help you grow as a person and a future leader.

How will the Time Initiative team support the fellows?

  • All-expenses-paid annual retreat

  • Exclusive access to fellows-only community group 

  • Direct mentoring 

  • Fellows are invited to apply for $8,000 grants to conduct a 2024 summer project, which could include an internship in industry, work in a research lab, or an independent project!

Who can apply?

We are looking for undergraduate-level students with diverse interests and goals. Do you want to run your own lab, become an entrepreneur, science communicator, or a policy maker? Students from all disciplines are eligible to apply. The Time Fellowship is geared towards individuals not yet enrolled in graduate level studies. Individuals enrolled in post-baccalaureate programs and Bachelor's-Master's dual degree programs are eligible to apply. The fellowship is open to all, regardless of citizenship status.

Selection Criteria

We are looking for thoughtful, highly motivated, and mission-driven applicants with boundless curiosity and the desire to connect and engage with like-minded people who share their energy and enthusiasm. Strong applicants would show demonstrated interest and potential to become leaders in the field.
