The 2011/2012 IFUW International Fellowships and Grants
Competition is now open. Only women graduates who are members
of one of IFUW's national federations and associations (NFA) or
IFUW Independent Members may apply. The awards are to be used for
postgraduate research, study or training to be undertaken within
the period 1 April 2011 to 11 December 2012. The
application deadline is 1 October 2010.
The CFUW/A.Vibert Douglas Fellowship and the Ida Smedley MacLean
Fellowships support postgraduate research requiring eight to twelve
months' work in a country other than that in which the applicant
was educated or habitually resides. The British Federation Crosby
Hall Fellowship is reserved for women wishing to study or undertake
research in Great Britain. Applications for fellowships from
women who have not already successfully completed the first year of
a doctoral degree in a university recognised by IFUW will not be
considered.
Winifred Cullis Grants and NZFGW Daphne Purves International
Grants are for specialized training, independent research, or to
assist in the completion of a postgraduate degree. Dorothy
Leet Grants are reserved for women graduates from countries with a
comparatively low per capita income and for those who either wish
to work as experts in these countries or whose research is of value
to such countries. Proposals for all grants require at least two
months' work in a country other than that in which the applicant
was educated or habitually resides.
NFA members must apply through their national headquarters.
Each NFA may propose up to three applicants. If more than three
members of an NFA are interested in applying, the NFA is
responsible for screening the applications and choosing the three
who will compete in the final international competition. Each
NFA should set the deadline by which its members are to submit
their applications at the national level. This deadline
should be early enough to allow for the pre-screening and selection
process and to give ample time for the application material of the
three applicants chosen to reach IFUW Headquarters in Geneva no
later than 1 October 2010.
Applications must be submitted electronically. Printed forms
sent via the post or fax will not be considered. IFUW's
Committee for the Award of International Fellowships will
select the winners and submit the names for approval by the IFUW
Board of Officers. The results will be announced by 1 March
2011.
Attached are copies of the NFA instructions, the application form
and the applicant instructions. This material may also
be downloaded from the IFUW website at: http://www.ifuw.org/fellowships/international.shtml.
National leaders who have questions after reading the two sets of
instructions should contact fellowships2011@ifuw.org.
