IFP provides fellowships for post-graduate study to emerging leaders from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Russia and Latin America. These leaders come from marginalized and excluded communities that typically lack access to higher education.
    IFP was launched in 2001 with $280 million, the largest single grant in Ford Foundation history. In April 2006 the Ford Foundation announced a new pledge of $75 million for IFP. The program expects
    to support approximately 4,300 Fellows when final selections are completed in 2010.
    IFP is no longer accepting new applicants. The final cohort has been selected, bringing the total number of IFP Fellows to around 4,300. IFP will conclude its work by 2013.

    Ford Foundation International Fellows may choose to study in any academic discipline or field of study related to the Ford Foundation’s three grant-making areas, which are:
    Asset Building and Community Development

    •  Human Rights
    Number of Awards:
    Over 3,300 Fellows have been selected from more than 65,000 candidates in Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Russia and Latin America.   Almost 400 recently selected Fellows are now in preparatory training and admissions processes.

    Approximately half the selected Fellows are women, many are from ethnic, religious or linguistic minority groups in their home countries, and the majority comes from rural areas or small towns.
    Scholarship value/inclusions:
    IFP fellowships support up to three years of study for master’s, doctoral, or professional post-graduate degrees.  Fellows receive a comprehensive package  of benefits, including preparatory training, placement assistance and academic support during their post-graduate programs.

    •  Demonstrate superior achievement in their undergraduate studies and hold a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent.
    •  Have substantial experience in community service or development-related activities.
    •  Possess leadership potential evidenced by their employment and academic experience.

    •  Present a plan specifying how they will apply their studies to social problems or issues in their own countries. Commit themselves to working on these issues following the fellowship period.
    Because local requirements and deadlines vary among IFP countries, applicants should follow the specific application guidelines provided by IFP International Partner organizations (see the link below).

    Fellows are selected on the basis of their  academic record and potential, leadership skills and social commitment.  Selections are carried out by independent committees in individual countries and regions.
