Fellowship applications are accepted from current Stanford seniors and graduate students from any major or school at Stanford. Preference is given to technically-minded students and STEM majors who have demonstrated an interest in entrepreneurship and leadership. An example of demonstrated interest includes taking a “launch” class such as Lean Launchpad, Technology Venture Formation, or similar entrepreneurship courses.

To apply, students will submit the STVP Fellows Programs application for Accel Leadership Program,Threshold Venture Fellows and Mayfield Fellows Program. They will indicate which program is their top choice. Students  will be asked to provide a transcript, resume/CV, and thoughtful responses to prompt questions, such as sharing challenges they’ve overcome. Select applicants will be asked to attend a virtual interview in November, which will allow applicants the chance to share their unique backgrounds with the selection committee. Typically, interviews are conducted in groups.
