AAUW’s International Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program promotes education and equity for women by investing in international applicants who will be pursuing postdoctoral research in the U.S., with the intention of applying their expertise, professional skills and leadership in the context of their home countries. In addition, up to 6 awards are available to Graduate Women International (see the list of GWI affiliates) members for study in any country other than their own. The program is 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. AAUW’s International Fellowships have been supporting international women pursuing full-time postgraduate and postdoctoral research in the United States since 1917.
