limabeans08 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I've been receiving information about the fellowship through multiple programs i've applied to... I can't seem to find much info online. They have a website: https://www.samvid.ventures/ Seems like the fund was established in 2021. It all seems quite suspicious. stock images on their site, no staff page... is it just me?

macrobrewing Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Same. I'm trying to find some more info on the org or people behind it, but so far have only found posts on different university scholarship pages and, of course, this thread. Edit: seems to be a component of the Desai Sethi Foundation in Detroit. Can't speak to that foundation at all, but I found a LinkedIn page for Samvid. Seems new, for sure, but nothing egregiously suspicious I don't think. It's a huge fellowship, though, so I'm sure they're going to have a massive pool of applications.

No just asking because I applied by the deadline too and haven’t heard back. I was wondering if they were getting back to people who may have applied earlier. You got this, no sweat!!

Thanks you’re so kind ☺️☺️ Super curious about how many people they selected as finalists/ they will give interviews to and how many will be selected as scholars. I wish there was more information!

Yeah, I wonder how large the finalists pool is as well, and from what I’ve seen on their website they will select 20 scholars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR Policy Nerd Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I heard back on May 4 that I was not selected (womp). The message said they had over 700 applicants, but no info on number of finalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
