The Young Philatelic Leaders Fellowship program was founded by the American Philatelic Society in 2009 to identify and support the best and brightest aspiring philatelists. The program coordinates and funds transportation to, lodging during, and activities at the Great American Stamp Show for enthusiastic young collectors between the ages of 16 and 24. Additionally, YPLF connects participating Fellows with seasoned collectors, exhibitors, writers, researchers, and dealers to expand their perspectives and exposure in the philatelic world.
All young adult philatelists between the ages of 16 and 24 are eligible for the YPLF Program. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age but may not be older than 24 as of August 1st of the application year.
