Applications
Applications for the Fast Forward 15 programme open annually from late December and close in the first week of March. During this time, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for one of 15 exclusive spots on our programme.
Application Timeline
Once submitted, each application is thoroughly reviewed, and selected applicants will be invited to interview with prospective mentors within a two-week window in March.
During the interview, the prospective mentor will discuss how FF15 can help you reach your goals, and also provide you the chance to understand more about the opportunities and commitment over the 12-month transformational programme.
Successful mentees are notified at the beginning of April. If chosen, you’ll be invited to attend an initial virtual kick-off meeting to get to know your mentee cohort, and then start your journey at the annual FF15 Inauguration event in June.
