International School Grants

The Fulbright Scholarship

• The Fulbright Scholarships, offered through the Bureau of Cultural Affairs, are funding sources open to students who want to enter an international graduate program. The Fulbright U.S. Student program offers fellowships to study abroad, and the Fulbright Foreign Student Program helps graduate students from abroad conduct research in the United States. The Fulbright mission is to encourage exchanges and dialogue among U.S. students and foreign institutions. Fulbright recipients take on important roles as scholars, teachers, lecturers, artists, philanthropists, cultural ambassadors, human rights advocates and researchers. Many former recipients of these awards have made significant contributions to their fields through the training they received as a result of the Fulbright funding.

American Association of University Women

• The American Association of University Women, or AAUW, is a charitable organization with over 100,000 members nationwide. Its mission is to advocate for equity for women and girls through education, research and philanthropy.

Through their International Fellowship opportunities, women can receive funding of up to $18,000 to obtain a master's degree, $20,000 for a doctorate fellowship, or $30,000 for a postdoctoral fellowship for studies outside of the United States.
