Overview
The 776 Fellowship is a two-year, full-time program for 18 - 24 year olds, across the world. Fellows will receive a $100,000 grant over two years to work on projects to fight climate change instead of pursuing a university degree.
Details
Programme Mission & Vision
There are some big ideas that can't wait - especially when it comes to climate change - and 776 wants to support problem-solvers at the earliest possible stage. The Fellowship Programme give 20 remarkable people the age of 24 and under the chance to spend two years working on the bright idea that's keeping them up a night. They'll benefit from a community of peers and access to the extended 776 network through Cerebo (our firm's operating system).
Goals of the Fellowship Programme
- Invest in young people tackling climate change Some of our best minds around the world aren’t able to take two years off to focus on solving the greatest threat to humanity: climate change. We’re equipping some of the most driven future leaders with the capital and support needed to fully immerse themselves in what could be the next world-saving idea.
- Scale the impact of 776 The team at 776 is tasked with backing exceptional founders as early as possible in their journey, giving potential founders the space and time (and money) to build something great.
- Enrich our community with the next generation of talent This program will deeply challenge our Fellows to think critically and creatively and will turnout the next generation of great founders and operators. This Fellowship program can be the springboard for unlimited opportunities because it’s reaching so deep into a pool of talented individuals before their careers have even started.

Description of Ideal Candidate
Fellow QualificationsWe're searching for the builders, the doers — people motivated by problems and using that energy to create real, measurable solutions that will benefit underserved communities. We want our fellows to wake up every morning feeling excited and inspired by the project they’re working on.
This fellowship IS:
- Skipping or dropping out of university to focus exclusively on a project, idea, or initiative full-time that is working toward solving the climate change crisis.
- Fellows must be ages 18 to 24 and can live anywhere in the world.
This fellowship IS NOT:
- A paid vacation
- A networking program; your job as a fellow is to ship
What kind of ideas is the fellowship looking for?
We are looking for a wide range of ideas, as climate change is a technological, social, and political issue.
Do I need a team to apply?
No, if you're working on a great idea or project, we're interested in hearing from you, however, if you already have a partner/co-founder, you can apply together.
Do I need to be US based?
No, the Fellowship is open to international applicants. We will be selecting applicants through a final remote interview.
What do I spend the money from the grant on?
Whatever you need to bring your idea to life over the next 2 years. If you need to be told exactly how to spend this money, this Fellowship likely isn't for you.
