Hunt-Aspen Fellowship Application

The Woody and Gayle Hunt-Aspen Institute Fellowship is a scholarship program launched in 2020 between the Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Foundation and Aspen Institute Latinos and Society. The Fellowship serves to increase the participation of individuals from the Borderplex Region (El Paso, TX; Ciudad Juarez, MX; Las Cruces, NM) in Aspen Institute programming.

The Fellowship aims to contribute to the leadership skills of individuals through exposure to world-class programming and connections to new networks.

Fellows are awarded scholarships that cover the cost of participation in Aspen Institute public events, policy roundtables, leadership seminars, and other convenings. After participation, awardees are encouraged to apply knowledge learned to the Borderplex region. Fellows become members of the Aspen Latinos Alumni Network, a community of changemakers and leaders and are provided with opportunities to further engage with the Aspen Institute.
