How to Apply
The application for First Fellows is now live! If you are a student, you can get a link to the application through one of our community partner organizations in Boston.
​
We have designed the application to be very similar to the CommonApp in order minimize the amount of extra time needed to submit an application. All applicants will hear back about their acceptance to First Fellows in March.
