Your video submission is your opportunity to tell us who you are, express your creativity, and show us your digital content creator skills. Here are some suggestions:

1. Why would you be an asset to Chevrolet and the 2023 Discover The Unexpected fellowship?
2. How will you use your content creation skills to amplify innovative electric vehicles for Chevrolet?
3. What message(s) do you believe Black communities need to hear about electric vehicles?

All application materials must be received by April 7, 2023, at 11:59 pm PST.

• Completed application

Primary attention is given to the quality of submitted work samples, writing skill, and resume.

The Fellowship may comply with your local university’s regulations. Please check with your particular college.

Working for a newspaper, all fellows, including those interested in video/broadcast journalism, are expected to have strong writing skills to support print, digital, and social media assignments. Fellows are expected to work well both individually and in team environments.

Yes. The Discover the Unexpected fellowship was created by Chevrolet to demonstrate their support of HBCUs and provide a group of promising students with potential access to a vehicle during the fellowship to highlight their experiences through social media content creation.

A $10,000 scholarship is provided after the program during the Closing Ceremony to the fellows who have completed the program.
