Where to Search for Fellowships

Below we suggest a few starting points for individuals in search of fellowships and related opportunities.

Additionally, quite a few countries have gateway sites to orient international students and researchers to fellowships and scholarships in those countries.  These sites identify the government’s fellowship programs.  Frequently, they include fellowships available at universities, research institutes, foundations, science societies, and others.     

We also suggest searching the internet with combinations of key words (“fellowships” + topic + country name).

  • TWAS offers a number of fellowships (post-graduate and post-doctoral) with collaborating institutions, and it sometimes announces other fellowships in its publications.    Link
