To encourage the next generation of tech innovators to pursue bold ideas now, Peter Thiel today announced that the Thiel Foundation is accepting applications for a second class of 20 Under 20 Thiel Fellows.
"Every moment in history happens only once. If you have a good idea, the right time to work on it is right away," said Peter Thiel, founder of the Thiel Foundation. "Our first class of fellows is busy working on difficult challenges to improve the lives of people across the world, and we're looking forward to helping twenty more people skip college and start changing the world."
The Thiel Foundation will follow the model it pioneered with its first class of fellows, by awarding $100,000 grants to 20 people under 20 years old, so they can skip school and pursue innovation. During the two year fellowship, the Thiel Foundation will help the Thiel Fellows pursue their scientific, technical, and entrepreneurial ideas.
