The Bonderman Travel Fellowship

The 2026 Bonderman Fellowship application for both graduate students and graduating senior undergraduates is now closed. We anticipate opening the 2027 application in November.

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 350 UW students, allowing them to engage deeply with peoples and communities across the world.
