Apply Online
The Hart Fellowship application is a Google form that asks applicants to write thoughtfully and concisely about their interests, experiences, and community ties, as well as to propose a specific community partner and Hart Fellowship project on which they will work during their 10-month Fellowship. Applicants are strongly encouraged to establish communications with their proposed community partners before applying. All Duke and DKU graduating seniors and recent graduates are welcome to apply.

Interview and Orientation
A small group of finalists from the applicant pool will be invited to interview with the committee. From these finalists, a new class of Hart Fellows will be announced. Once the new Fellows are announced, they will participate in pre-departure orientation sessions to support them in crafting their fellowship experiences and to prepare them for their launch in the field.
