There’s only a few days left to submit an application for the Delaying the Real World Fellowship [2] co-sponsored by Avalon Travel [3], the parent company of Moon.
Each year one twenty-something is awarded a $5,000 grant to complete a life changing adventure, and delay the 9-5 grind. Past ideas include creating a community service project, building houses in a Mexican village, writing and producing a play, and working to help Cambodian children obtain bicycles so they can get to school.
The fellowship is inspired by the Running Press [4] book, Delaying the Real World [5], by Colleen Kinder [6]. The book encourages recent college grads to think outside the cubicle and try something truly unique.
To learn more, or get submission guidelines, visit the website [7]. The deadline is May 30th, so get your application in soon.
Best of luck!
