Real perks you can use now, not promises for later.
New roles open to Founding Fellows 48 hours before anyone else, including roles that promise a reply or an interview.
When Ivy Varsity hosts an event, your spot is held before sign-ups open.
Founding Fellow stays on your profile permanently, with a link anyone can use to verify it.
You try new features before anyone else, and your feedback is the first we hear.
Membership is free for every verified athlete, and if paid plans ever come, Founding Fellows never pay. We only name you publicly with your permission.
How it works
The title is earned by using Ivy Varsity and telling us the truth about it. Signing up alone doesn’t qualify.
- 1Apply
Your school, sport and years on the roster. About two minutes.
- 2Get verified
Through a personal invitation, a verified member who knows you played, or an Ivy Varsity administrator.
- 3Set up your profile
Add a photo from your playing days and choose who sees your phone and email.
- 4Use it and send feedback
Find people, make a plan, look at jobs, then tell us what worked and what didn’t. The title is yours once we review it.
No gatekeepers: Founding Fellows aren’t team representatives, and nobody is put in charge of a team. Share Ivy Varsity with other Ivy athletes if you want to, but you’re never obligated to recruit anyone. Link copied
