Application Process
-
Sponsor Endorsement and Nomination
The mOS design team has empowered partnering leaders and organizations to sponsor participants in this mOS Cohort. Your first step is to get a strong endorsement and referral from a sponsoring leader or organization. Each sponsor will have criteria for assessing the compatibility of candidates for this initiative. Obtain a 500 word or less written referral / endorsement from a participating sponsor that you can paste into your online application in step 3 below.
-
Candidate Self-Assessment of Fit
After receiving a referral / endorsement from a sponsor, applicants are requested to do a candid self-assessment of their fit. This reflection should consider the qualifications section, expectations section, and weighing the cost section from this page. Please weigh your decision carefully before proceeding to the online application in step 3.
-
Submit Online Application
After completing steps 1 and 2 above, continue to the online application on this page. Be sure to review your self-assessment results with your sponsor before completing the application. The application requires you to provide your sponsor endorsement, your self-assessment, and your agreement to the terms of the grant and cohort expectations. The application takes less than 30 minutes to complete. You will be notified within 7 days on whether you are being selected for a final onboarding interview.
-
Onboarding Interview and Acceptance
The final step in the process is an online compatibility interview with your sponsor and the mOS Team. The primary purpose of this call is to review the basic expectations for participants and to get their commitment to proceed with participating. Approved candidates will be given advance reading and homework assignments to be completed before the initial face-to-face gathering in Raleigh, NC in September 2024.
