Each year a select group of UW students is provided a rare opportunity to independently travel the world as Bonderman Fellows. David Bonderman, a UW alum, created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995, and it has funded life-changing global journeys for more than 350 students thus far. 

The 2026 Bonderman Fellows will travel to over thirty countries, spanning five continents collectively. Each fellow will independently explore two to three world regions, traveling in six to nine countries over eight months.
