Hi, I am an entrepreneur and have worked in the area of public policy. I have been awarded a couple of mid-career fellowship for a year of independent research + study in two top Ivy League schools. I have a bachelor’s degree and I am going to be given a certificate at both the programs. They fund the living costs at one of the school while the other school which is a bigger brand is funding everything ( fees etc) other than the living costs( housing etc). I am going with the later. My class has a fantastic group of mid-career professionals… like ministers , head of financial institutions, Governors etc… But I am the youngest in this class,…So I wanted to get your perspective on how such non degree Mid-career fellowships are viewed professionally.
