For the six-week program, ASML Fellows will receive a total stipend of $5,000. For the four-month program, ASML Fellows will receive a total stipend of $18,000.

Travel and accommodation support for this visit may be available upon request.
We welcome applications from a wide range of tech professionals passionate about transforming the social media landscape. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated at least three years of professional experience in the tech or social media field, and have a proposal for a public interest technology project. While experience working at social media companies is preferred, independent contributors with demonstrated impact in the field are encouraged to apply.
We invite prospective participants to apply via this link and include their CV, a two-page project proposal, and responses to a few survey questions. Applicants can select their ideal timeline for participation, with options for a six-week or four-month program (from September to December or February to May).
