Fellowships
Sometimes, a little can go a long way. After reviewing our Fellowships program, we realized we could move the needle in the lives of many talented individuals and amplify our impact by providing grants to support their work. To that end, we decided to launch OSV Grants, a sister program to the OSV Fellowships. The OSV Grants are designed to support individuals who have demonstrated exceptional potential and passion for pursuing innovative projects that can make a positive difference in the world.
The five recipients of the OSV Grants were selected from the pool of OSV Fellowship applicants, who impressed us with their vision, creativity, and dedication. They will each receive a $10,000 grant and access to OSV’s network of founders, investors, and experts to help them bring their projects to life.
“The team and I were blown away by the quality of the applications to the O’Shaughnessy Fellowships. We were so impressed that we have expedited the launch of the O’Shaughnessy Grants program to enable as many talented individuals as possible to unleash their infinite potential.”
- Jim O’Shaughnessy.
We are honoured to introduce the following individuals as the first O’Shaughnessy Grants recipients:
