Applications are open through June 1 for a four-month hybrid Watson Semester Accelerator based in Boulder Colorado this fall. Students selected to the Watson Semester Accelerator leverage training, mentorship, and community to accelerate their ventures during a time when the world needs brave leadership and creative solutions to issues of complex injustice and inequality, such as climate change, human rights abuses, poverty, access to quality education, and more.
Watson Institute is also proud to announce the Martini Education and Opportunity Trust (MEOT) Fellowship. These fellowships are designed for changemakers, innovators, and leaders primarily from the US, or doing work in the US, to drive forward impactful innovations and solutions to significant social, economic, environmental, and corporate governance challenges. This Fall, 5 MEOT fellows will join the Watson Semester Accelerator and learn to increase their impact through the vehicle of entrepreneurship. To be considered, apply by June 1.
