  • The Night Sky Fund provided direct financial stipends to 19 Fellows in 2024 to support their participation in transformational educational experiences. Each Fellow was eligible to receive up to $10,000 USD in stipend funding specifically for travel, lodging, and meals required to complete their fellowship requirements, including immersive experiences in unfamiliar environments and communities. The stipend program removed financial barriers that would otherwise prevent qualified young adults from participating in this gap year educational program focused on learning to trust their intuition, kindle their courage, and cultivate their compassion. This direct funding advances the organization's educational exempt purpose by making life-changing learning opportunities accessible regardless of economic background.

Each Fellow received ongoing coaching sessions as a core component of their educational experience, with coaches supporting participants in processing their immersive learning experiences and developing critical life skills for their transition into adulthood.
