AAUW Educational Foundation International Fellowships
American Association of University Women - International Fellowships
Deadline: December 01, 2011
International Fellowships are awarded for full-time study or research to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
http://www.act.org/aauw/internat/index.html
AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, and research. AAUW breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
AAUW is one of the nation’s largest sources of private funding exclusively for educational programs that directly benefit women and girls. Every year AAUW awards fellowships and grants to more than 200 women. In principle and practice, AAUW values and seeks diversity. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or class.
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, 2011, 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 United States. 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 six International Fellowships will be renewable 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.
