The Thiel Fellowship is for young people who want to build new things instead of sitting in a classroom. Each year they select between 20 and 30 participants.
Founded by technology entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel in 2011, the Thiel Fellowship is a two-year program for young people who want to build new things. Thiel Fellows skip or stop out of college to receive a grant and support from the Thiel Foundation’s network of founders, investors, and scientists.
