The 2025 Bonderman Fellowship application for both graduate students and graduating senior undergraduates is now open.  

Each year since 1995 a small group of University of Washington students have been provided a rare opportunity to independently travel the world as Bonderman Fellows. David Bonderman, a UW alumnus, created the Bonderman Fellowship at UW, which has funded life-changing global journeys for more than 300 UW students, allowing them to engage deeply with peoples and communities across the world.
