About This Opportunity

AAUW's International Fellowships promotes education and equity for women by investing in international applicants who will be pursuing postgraduate studies or research in the U.S., with the intention of applying their expertise, professional skills, and leadership in the context of their home countries. The program has been supporting international women pursuing full-time postgraduate studies in the United States since 1917. The fellowships are specifically designed for women who are non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents, with a track record of academic excellence and empowering other women and girls. In addition, up to 5 awards are available to Graduate Women International members for study in any country other than their own. The program offers stipends of $20,000 for master's degrees and $25,000 for doctorate degrees, disbursed in two equal payments during the fellowship term.
