The nonprofit Fund for the Pacific Century is accepting applications for its 17th class of Pacific Century Fellows. The program, modeled after the White House Fellows Program, is designed to recognize and encourage Hawaii’s future leaders.

The nine-month program will include about 30 of Hawaii’s most promising individuals who are in their mid-20s to early 40s. The fellows will be selected by a 16-member committee of prominent citizens based on their demonstrated ability to set and achieve goals and on having exhibited leadership qualities in their current professional, volunteer and civic activities.

Individual companies may sponsor candidates. The $4,000 fee covers expenses. Employers are encouraged to pay employee program costs, but tuition assistance is available. The application is available at pacificcenturyfellows.com with the deadline June 14. Finalists will be interviewed in early August. The 2019-2020 program will be held in September at the Turtle Bay Resort.
