Ford Foundation Announces International Fellowships Program

The Ford Foundation's International Fellowships Program provides
opportunities for advanced study to exceptional individuals who will use
this education to become leaders in their respective fields, furthering
development in their own countries and greater economic and social justice
worldwide. The program provides support for up to three years of formal
graduate- level study. Fellows will be selected from countries in Africa and
the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Russia where the Foundation
maintains active overseas programs. U.S. nationals are not eligible,
although Fellows may study in the United States.

Fellows are chosen on the basis of their leadership potential and commitment
to community or national service as well as for academic excellence. Fellows
may enroll in master's or doctoral programs and may pursue any academic
discipline or field of study that is consistent with the interests and goals
of the Ford Foundation. The Foundation currently works in fifteen fields to
strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote
international cooperation, and advance human achievement.

Once selected, fellows may enroll in universities in any part of the world,
including their country of residence. The program will provide placement
assistance to those Fellows not yet admitted to graduate school. IFP support
will enable fellows to undertake language training in research and computer
skills as well as general support for research.

Eligible applicants must be nationals or residents of eligible countries.
Deadlines are set by IFP Fellowship Offices and applicants should contact
one of the offices to request an application. Visit the Ford Foundation Web
site for more information on this program.
