Tutoring
Fellows participate in regular seminars with the Program Director and other fellows in which they give updates on their progress and receive feedback from their peers. The Program Director also meets frequently with fellows on a one-to-one basis, to give guidance and feedback on project development. Fellows may also audit any course at Stanford during the year and sign up for extra classes and seminars.
Seminars
Intimate seminars with world-class speakers from the technology, academic and nonprofit sectors are also held. These seminars are organized specifically for the Digital Vision Fellows by the Program Director, with the aim of exposing them to new perspectives, ideas and issues. Fellows may also invite guest speakers to deliver seminars to the group. Click here to see a list of upcoming DV seminars.
Travel Grants
