The International Fellowship program has been in existence since 1917. The program provides support for one year of graduate or postgraduate study in the United States to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. (Women holding dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country are not eligible.) Applicants must have earned the equivalent of a U .S. bachelor’s degree by September 30, 2013, and preference is given to women who show prior commitment to the advancement of women and girls through civic, community, or professional work. Fellowships are available for study in the U.S. A limited number of awards are available to women who are members of the International Federation of University Women (IFUW; see List of IFUW Member Organizations) for study or research in any country other than their own.
Up to five International Fellowships will be rene wable for a second year; renewal instructions will be provided to fellows during their fellowship year. International Fellowships are not retroactive; that is, they cannot be used to pay for expenses or loans incurred prior to the fellowship year. Unsuccessful applicants may reapply.
