2027 Surge Academy and Fellowship Application Review

Want to support the growth and expansion of our Surge Community? Would you like to directly assist in surveying candidates for participation in Surge Fellowship or Surge Academy?

If interested, please complete this form by Monday, May 25th (if later, please reach out to Elham to see if you can still review applications).

Please review the Timeline and Expectations document for further information about key dates and time commitments. Monetary incentives will be provided for all reviewers who participate in this process once it is complete. Please feel free to reach out to Elham Mohaba, National Programs Manager at elham@surgeinstitute.org with any questions at any time. Thank you, and we look forward to your collaboration!

Participation in this process requires a one hour training process. Would you prefer a virtual training session or an asynchronous training that you can complete on your own?

Please note that training is required for all reviewers, as the platform and process has changed this cycle. If you have participated in application review before, asynchronous training may be more suitable for you. If this is your first time, whichever you prefer will work.
