accepting applications for the 2003-04 academic year (September-
June). The deadline is March 14, 2003. Twelve Fellowships will be
awarded on May 15, 2003.
The Program
Digital Vision Fellows design and build ICT-based solutions for the
developing world. DV Fellows draw on the resources of Stanford
University and Silicon Valley to create a sustainable technology
project that serves a humanitarian purpose in the developing world.
During their time on the Stanford campus DV Fellows research the
needs and requirements of their project, identify the best technology
implementation choices, create proof-of-concept prototypes, and
develop sustainable business models. DV Fellows have "Visiting
Scholar" privileges at Stanford, including the ability to audit
academic courses. Fellows also participate in a structured Digital
Vision Program with weekly seminars and workshops. DV Fellows
collaborate with Stanford faculty, students, and with each other.
Additionally, the program facilitates connections between DV Fellows
and Silicon Valley leaders from corporations, venture finance and
philanthropy.
