The Thiel Fellowship is a fellowship founded by billionaire Peter Thiel in 2011 through the Thiel Foundation. The fellowship is intended for individuals aged 22 or younger and offers them a total of $200,000 over two years, as well as guidance and other resources, to drop out of school and pursue other work, which could involve scientific research, creating a startup, or working on a social movement. Selection for the fellowship is through a competitive annual process, with around 15 fellows selected annually. In addition to the grant, fellows gain mentorship and access to a community of founders and resources offered by the Thiel Foundation.
