Level: Graduate+
Ashoka is the largest network of social
entrepreneurs worldwide, with nearly
3,000 Ashoka Fellows in 70 countries
putting their system changing ideas into
practice on a global scale. Founded by Bill
Drayton in 1980, Ashoka has provided
start-up financing, professional
supportservices, and connections to a global
network across the business and social
sectors, and a platform for people dedicated
to changing the world.
About the Fellowship
Ashoka Fellows are leading social
entrepreneurs who are recognized to have
innovative solutions to social problems and
the potential to change patterns across
society. They demonstrate unrivalled
commitment to bold new ideas and prove
that compassion, creativity, and
collaboration are tremendous forces for
change. Ashoka Fellows work in over 70
countries around the globe in every area of
human need.
Ashoka categorizes its Fellows broadly into
one of six fields of work:
1. Civic Engagement,
2. Economic Development,
3. Environment,
4. Health,
5. Human Rights, and
6. Learning/Education
Eligibility Criteria
Ashoka's selection process is anchored by
its five criteria against which all Fellow
candidates are evaluated:
The Knockout Test: A New Idea
Ashoka cannot elect someone to the
Fellowship unless he or she is possessed by
Duration:
a new ideaa new solution or approach to
a social problemthat will change the
pattern in a field, be it human rights, the
environment, or any other. We evaluate the
idea historically and against its
contemporaries in the field, looking for
innovation and real change potential.
Creativity
Successful social entrepreneurs must be
creative both as goal-setting visionaries and
as problem solvers capable of engineering
their visions into reality.
Entrepreneurial Quality
Perhaps our most important criterion,
entrepreneurial quality is the defining
characteristic of first class entrepreneurs. It
defines leaders who see opportunities for
change and innovation and devote
themselves entirely to making that change
happen.
Social Impact of the Idea
This criterion focuses on the candidate's
idea, not the candidate. Ashoka is only
interested in ideas that it believes will
change the field significantly and that will
trigger nationwide impact or, for smaller
countries, broader regional change.
Ethical Fiber
Social entrepreneurs introducing major
structural changes to society have to ask a
lot of people to change how they do things.
If the entrepreneur is not trusted, the
likelihood of success is significantly
reduced. Ashoka asks every participant in
the selection process to evaluate candidates
for these qualities rigorously.

growth that the fellowship makes possible.
We look for candidates who are sufficiently

a belief that the United States needs the

acquire.
