International Federation of University Women (IFUW) Fellowships and Grants


Program Description: The International Federation of University Women offers a limited number of fellowships and grants to women graduates for advanced research, study and training. The competitions are normally held every two years. The awards are intended to help finance short graduate and post-graduate study, research and training projects and to serve as complementary funds for longer programs. Many IFUW awards are restricted to residents of a particular country. A few national affiliates offer fellowships and grants open to IFUW members from other countries. Women who are interested should contact the national affiliate in their respective country to ask about available funding. Contact information is available on the website.

The current competition is offering awards for research, study or training to be undertaken during the period May 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

  • An official letter of acceptance must accompany the application.

Number of Awards: The awards offered vary. Normally 16 to 25 fellowships and grants are offered in each competition.
