Meet the 2025 Polymath Fellows

“The combination of modules, the inclusion of expert mentors, and the focus on real-world problem solving make this an innovative fellowship for those that want to make a real impact. I haven’t seen anything like it in my 30+ years in education.”
– Dr. David Staley, Professor & Author

Expert mentors. Nine months of learning. A $2,000 project grant.
Make your impact as a Polymath Fellow.

‍We are more interconnected and technologically enabled than ever before. And with that interconnectedness, the challenges we work on are growing increasingly complex. Understanding that complexity, and creating solutions to human-scale challenges, requires investment in human-level skills more than ever before. The next decade of innovation will be driven by leaders and change-makers who have mastered the ability to connect the dots, to operate across traditional silos, and to lead diverse teams. The rigorous Polymath Fellowship – a mini-master’s certificate program – has been designed to develop these skills in talented, early career professionals.

This 9-month remote fellowship is designed for early- and mid-career leaders and problem solvers who have a clear vision of a wicked problem against which they want to drive forward progress.

Each fellow in the 15 Polymath Fellow cohort will be matched with expert mentors, will receive an impact grant, and will develop interdisciplinary - polymath - problem solving skills to apply to their work.

This is the beginning of a community.
