A subset of fellowship spots will be reserved for those already present in Anchorage. Local fellowships will receive non-travel benefits, including conference passes, participation in all fellowship activities, and access to the Board Room co-working space.
One or more science media fellows will also be provided with a reporting budget of up to $2,000 for in-state travel, with up to an additional $3,000 available for licensing of high quality imagery and videos.
**As one of the fellowship’s goals is to share the experience of remote working in Alaska, all fellows must either be US citizens or permanent residents, or otherwise hold visas that allow them to work in Alaska during the fellowship window. We unfortunately cannot help applicants obtain such visas at this time. For startup founders or employees outside of the US, we encourage you to check out Launch Alaska’s Tech Deployment Track and Gener8tor’s Soft Landing Pad programs.**
