Impact Fellowship applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree and have at least two years of full-time work experience (excluding graduate internships). Summer Fellowship applicants must meet the same criteria for full-time work experience OR be currently enrolled in or have completed a graduate degree program. It is essential that applicants have authorization to work in the US on a full-time basis, with international students eligible if they do not require visa assistance. Above all, candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to EP’s mission along with a passion for public education.

We require our Fellows to live and work in the community that they are serving. Current Fellowship regions can be found in the Impact Fellowship or Summer Fellowship brochures.

Fellows drive their development through cohort-based learning anchored in personal leadership and identity development, systems thinking, racial equity and inclusion, and vision setting for impact. Through on-the-job learning, in-person convenings, site visits, and communities of practice, Fellows receive valuable mentoring from experienced education professionals and EP Alums. Please note that EP does not provide specialized systems and software training.

You may reapply for an EP Fellowship if you’re authorized to work in the US, meet our eligibility criteria, and have experience in project management, data analytics, operations, and/or strategy and planning. When reapplying, share new work experiences or skills gained since your first application. You may not reapply if you did not previously advance in the priority round.
