FellowshipDesk reaches a small but unusually qualified audience: students, early-career professionals, university fellowship advisors, foundation staff, and program administrators who read about international opportunities seriously. If your organisation runs a program, a graduate degree, an application coaching service, or a related product that genuinely serves this audience, we offer two advertising paths.
Display inventory. We run a limited number of programmatic AdSense slots on the site (header, in-content, sidebar, footer). All slots are clearly marked as advertising and never replace editorial content. To buy programmatic inventory, work through your existing AdSense / programmatic provider — our slot identifiers are listed in the HTML of every page.
Sponsored placements. We accept a strict cap of three sponsored placements per quarter, each clearly labelled "Sponsored" at the top of the unit. Sponsored placements appear in the sidebar of category and region pages and on the homepage. They are never inserted into the prose of an editorial program page, and they are never used to influence which programs appear in the directory itself. To enquire about a sponsored placement, write to ads@fellowshipdesk.example.
What we will not sell. Editorial coverage. Inclusion in the directory. Position in search results or category listings. Removal of a competitor program from a list. Personal data from our newsletter subscribers (we do not share, sell, or rent the list under any circumstances).
Audience profile. Roughly two-thirds of FellowshipDesk readers are between 20 and 32 years old. The largest reader cohorts come from the United States, India, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Kenya, Germany, Brazil, and the Philippines. Sessions are concentrated on weekday evenings local time and spike sharply during major application seasons.
Editorial firewall. The editorial team has full and final authority over what appears in the directory and on every program page. Advertising staff have no influence over editorial decisions, and editorial staff have no commission tied to advertising revenue. This separation is a precondition of how we work; it is not negotiable.
