About the residency
San Francisco International Airport would be the best airport to fly into. An alternative would be Oakland International Airport which is a 30 minute drive from the Celo Foundation Office.
Staying for the whole residency is highly recommended but not required. We will be prioritizing applicants who are able to stay the entire time.
No, you don't need to stay in the provided housing. However, we do not offer an alternative housing stipend if you choose not to stay in the sponsored accommodations
