Postgraduate Training Fellowships for Women Scientists

Postgraduate Training Fellowships for Women Scientists from Sub-Saharan Africa and Least Developed Countries (LDC) support female scientists to pursue postgraduate research leading to a doctorate at a centre of excellence in the South. The fellowship targets women graduates from Sub-Saharan Africa and/or LDCs, who wish to conduct research in basic sciences and pursue a doctoral degree at a developing-country host institution outside their own country.

Open to qualified young women science graduates from Sub-Saharan Africa and/or one of the Least Developed Countries, generally below 40 years of age.

Applicants should complete all parts of the application form and enclose copies of university degree certificates and transcripts; if already admitted elsewhere, include the letter of acceptance; if pursuing a sandwich programme, include a letter from the home supervisor.
