Archbishop Tutu Fellowship Selection Site
2025 Cohort of the Tutu Fellowship Programme
The Class of 2025 of the Tutu Fellowship Programme has been announced. Emails notifying subscribers of this have been distributed by AFLI. You can see the full list on the AFLI website.
To the candidates who applied for the 2025 Tutu Fellowship, thank you. The AFLI Board approved the Associates selected for the 2025 cohort of the African Leadership Fellowship Programme and they were invited to join the programme on Monday 3 February. They are already under way with the programme.
On a continent blessed with outstanding young leaders, we are fortunate that the Archbishop Tutu Fellowship Programme attracts the extraordinary subset of young people that it does. We received more than 900 nominations of outstanding quality from all across the continent, and to pick fewer than 20 from this remarkable, talented pool was a difficult task for the selection panels. Often the margins between candidates were paper thin. We recognize that for the hundreds who aren't selected, the news that they weren't will inevitably be disappointing. But being nominated is itself recognition, and we encourage those who aren't successful in their first application to seek nomination again - if their age permits - as their resume will have evolved.
Every candidate who submitted an application should have received an email by now, advising them of the status of their application. Most were emailed in November 2024 and the remainder were emailed in Feb 2025. If you did not appear to have received one and intend to apply again, please read the information on whitelisting emails from AFLI domains.

The call for nominations and other communications on the process and deadlines will be sent by email to subscribers later this year.
