Fellowship Application

The StartingBloc application takes about 30 minutes to complete and can’t be saved. You must submit a USD $40 fee to apply. Institutes fill quickly, so we recommend applying early.

If accepted, the cost of the Leadership Institute plus the lifelong Fellowship network and benefits is USD $1,500. Learn more about the costs and ways to fund joining the Fellowship. Then, we will work with you to prepare for Institute. Read more about the application process.

COVID-19 update: Due to the pandemic, StartingBloc will not be holding in-person Institutes in New York and Raleigh-Durham in 2020. We are actively working on plans for a Virtual Institute worthy of the StartingBloc name to take place sometime in Fall 2020 and expect to update this page in June with more information.
