Your application for the Impact Fellowship will not be complete until you complete a 90 -120 minute performance task involving data, which will give you a taste of the kinds of challenges you’ll tackle and the skills you’ll leverage in a placement. While we understand that not all candidates are data analyst, all of our projects require that candidates demonstrate a baseline familiarity with data.

We’re looking forward to connecting with you one-on-one! If you advance to this stage, you’ll interview with an EP Alum or an EP staff member. In order to sign up for an interview, you’ll first need to submit contact information for two references.

Your 45-60 minute interview gives you an opportunity to further expand on the information you provided on your application and to demonstrate and discuss your interpersonal skills. The interview also gives you the opportunity to learn more about Education Pioneers and to ask questions about the Fellowship and the selection process.

We’re excited to give you the opportunity to preview a topic in the education field and the cohort experience through tackling a case study.

The group interview is conducted virtually and provides candidates an opportunity to debate and discuss a case study. As part of this process, candidates will get the opportunity to work alongside other applicants and get a preview of how Fellows engage and dialogue with their cohort peers during programming.
