The 2025-2026 cohort is 31 public intellectuals, announced on 15 July 2025, each receiving a grant of $120,000 and selected by a panel of external reviewers. The Foundations' grants listing shows the fellowship with a deadline of 'Passed', and no application route, next call or date is stated on the pages. An earlier iteration of the fellowship ran from 2008 to 2021.
