Well, is on the page: "A fellowship is a temporary position at the Wikimedia Foundation in order to work on a specific project or set of projects. Fellowships can be awarded for periods as short as 2 months and as long as 12 months. Duration is determined by the scope of the fellow's project."

Being a "Community" Fellow means that your project falls into the Community Department of WMF.

In a nutshell: If anyone wants to apply for, they need a project to help the community (not necessary to be the Global one) until 15 Jan and this project need to be approved by WMF.
