$100k to Break the Rules

Like playing it safe? The O'Shaughnessy Fellowship probably isn't for you...

“Color inside the lines.”

“Stick to the script.”

“Don’t rock the boat.”

If that’s your vibe, the O’Shaughnessy Fellowship is not the grant you’re looking for.

But.

If you’ve never fit the mold. If you’ve always wanted to write your own script. If they said your idea was too difficult – and you chased it anyway – we’ve got good news for you.

Ambition is back, baby.

The O’Shaughnessy Fellowship is here to back your boldest, most out-there, eye-wateringly ambitious idea. And we’re ready to drop $100k into your lap to make it happen.

Don’t believe us? Here’s what some of our 2024 Fellows have been up to:

• Jack Connor is rescuing endangered languages, including by depositing rare language data in the Svalbard mines of northern Norway.

• Justh has skyrocketed to fame as an Indian music sensation, with his beautiful, timeless music amassing BILLIONS of views in 2024.

• Michelle Wang is developing groundbreaking 3D-printed magnets that could revolutionize manufacturing.

• Jason Carman is filming weekly documentaries spotlighting the forward-looking companies shaping our future.

• Monika Seyfried is developing technology to enable digital memory storage in plants and living organisms.

You could be next.

Are you a researcher, filmmaker, academic, artist, developer, musician, writer, scientist, builder, or undefinable tinkerer? Perfect. We want to hear from you.

Do you have what it takes?
