Who should apply?

TED organizers look for different applicants than many other leadership-oriented programs. Therefore, instead of business people, policy wonks and government officials, the TED Fellows program places a great focus on doers, makers, inventors, advocates, filmmakers and photographers, musicians and artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, NGO heads, and human rights activists.

In addition to impressive accomplishment, fine character and a good heart are also important qualities it looks for in TED Fellows.
