Quality over quantity. We’re looking for qualitative information about you to understand you better in your own words. Please adhere to character limits, which include spaces.
Even if you do not have many accomplishments, it does not matter, just tell us about your future plans and how you plan to kick start your idea(s) for action. We are choosing from amongst several applicants, so we encourage you to have courage of conviction and stand out from the crowd with your integrity. Do not write accomplishments just to impress us. If you have no big or small accomplishments but have a plan and are yet to start on your idea for action, tell us so candidly. Many of our chosen fellows are people who have not yet broken ground but have integrity and intent to begin and persevere. So share your plans to roll out your ideas for action (from new inventions and innovations, to ground-shaking research or path breaking social campaigns or activism.)
We recommend you look at the application form first, and then spend time offline composing your answers in Google Docs, Microsoft Word or a similar word-processing program. Please remember to keep an offline copy. We cannot be responsible for text that gets lost.
Before you apply, please read our RKGF terms and conditions and the About RKGF & FAQs to answer any questions you may have
