TFI targets young men of color who are talented and motivated but falling short of their full academic potential. Typical fellows hail from low or moderate-income families, have a parent or guardian without a postsecondary education, and grade point averages of 80 or higher when they apply. Applicants submitting complete and high-quality applications by the deadline will be invited to a virtual interview, which must be attended by both the applicant and a legal guardian.
