Some examples of what I mean:<br> <br> <a href="http://sauvescholars.org">Sauve Scholars</a><br> <a href="http://www.poptech.org/fellows/">Pop!Tech Social Innovation Fellows</a><br> <a href="http://www.ashoka.org/support">Ashoka</a><br> <a href="http://www.echoinggreen.org/">Echoing Green</a><br> <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/pages/view/id/112">TED Conference Fellows</a><br> <a href="http://youthactionnet.org/index.php?fuse=aboutfellowship">YouthActionNet Global Fellowship</a><br> <a href="http://www.ysei.org/?q=node/9">YSEI Fellows</a><br> <br> So essentially they give you money and support for your projects, or for attending an event of theirs, but the focus isn't on academia and is generally open to a wider selection of people (compared to traditional fellowships that are geared towards academics).
