The Civic Innovators Fellowship is Civics Unplugged's virtual civic innovation programme within CU Society. The current official page describes two eight-week parts, September–November and February–April, and a pathway to alumni opportunities such as the Civic Innovation Academy and Lab. The page describes its youth training as intended for ages 13–18.
Checked November 4, 2026: the official landing page links a 2026–2027 fellowship application that explicitly no longer accepts responses. The landing page's September 4 deadline lacks a year. It is retained as a published milestone without a year, not a future annual deadline. The former civicsunplugged.org/apply address redirects to the current landing page.
The closed form does not expose eligibility, fees or essay instructions. The former catalog described free worldwide high-school participation and two optional 500-word/video prompts; these precise claims were not reverified for the current or a later intake. The current page calls the separate, alumni-only Academy tuition-free; that does not establish the Fellowship's fee. No exact application opening, complete dated cutoff or subsequent intake dates were verified.
