The Drexel Fund seeks visionary founders who are interested in gaining access to the support necessary to take a dream for a sustainable, replicable, high-performing private school model from possibility to reality. Each year, a select number of fellows are selected through a competitive process to enter the program.

The 2025-26 cohort, the ninth thus far, consists of four fellows. Of the 26 fellows in the first eight cohorts, 22 have successfully launched schools after completing the fellowship, and two have created school-related tutoring institutions.
