About the fellowship
The Claude Corps Fellowship, run by Anthropic with CodePath and Social Finance, places early-career people in full-time, in-person roles at US nonprofits for a year, doing work that uses AI — specifically Claude — for public good. Anthropic funds the programme (a $150M commitment), CodePath is the employer of record, and Social Finance handles measurement. Across the three cohorts there will be 1,000 fellows at 400+ host nonprofits, and each host nonprofit also receives a $10,000 implementation grant.
The money is a salary, not a scholarship: $85,000 a year plus benefits (health, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off), up to $2,500 in Claude API credits and relocation support, plus a CodePath mentor. The unusual part is who can apply: there is no degree requirement and no minimum qualification beyond being early-career — finishing school, leaving military service, or starting a first full-time job — and already using AI tools in daily life or work. The hard limits are experience (under 2 years of full-time work) and work authorisation (you must already be authorised to work in the US for the full 12 months, with no visa sponsorship).

CONFLICTS: the queue's July 2026 date was Cohort 1 only (closed 17 July 2026, started Oct 2026) — this article is about Cohort 3. An early TechTimes piece (June 2026) estimated "approx. mid-May 2027" for the Aug 2027 start — superseded by the official 31 Jan 2027 deadline. One aggregator says "no fixed deadline, rolling" — incomplete. One secondary source mentions a 500-word project proposal for Cohort 2 — not in the official posting, not stated as a requirement.
