The Silicon Valley Fellowship - Your Highway to Silicon Valley

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis:

1. Apply below.

2. The best candidates are selected for a 15-minute interview.

3. If there is a fit, we send you an offer for a spot in the fellowship. You can confirm your participation by paying the tuition or applying for financial aid from the Next Gen Fund by Gomry.

Financial aid

Through the Next Gen Fund by Gomry, we're empowering the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs. Offering partial to full funding for covering the program's costs, flights, and/or accommodation (possibly at the Gomry House). Every application is unique, and we'll assess each on its individual merit and financial need until all spots are filled, or the budget is exhausted.

Please note that the selection process for the financial aid is highly competitive. Fewer than 2% of applicants (as of November 2023) are awarded scholarships, and evidence of exceptional academic achievement and financial need is a prerequisite.
