Gates Fellowships and Graduate Internships FAQ

Does the foundation have a fellowship and internship program?

We value the diverse perspectives, talent, and contributions of early-career professionals around the world. While the Gates Foundation does not currently offer a foundation-wide fellowship or internship program, individual teams may offer fellowship opportunities aligned with specific initiatives and areas of work.

Our Global Health division as an example has recruited AI fellows to contribute to strategic initiatives aligned with the foundation’s three ambitious goals: ensuring no mother, child, or baby dies from a preventable cause; helping the next generation grow up in a world free from deadly infectious diseases; and enabling hundreds of millions of people to break free from poverty, putting more countries on a path to prosperity.

Fellowship opportunities, when available, will be posted on our careers site. We encourage early-career candidates to explore our current job openings and check back periodically for new opportunities. Locations and eligibility requirements may vary.
