AAUW’s International Fellowship Program 2026/2027 for Masters, Doctoral & Post-Doctoral Study in the United States

The AAUW International Fellowship Program provides funding for international women pursuing graduate studies in the United States in STEM disciplines, with the aim of applying their expertise and leadership to benefit their home countries or communities. The program offers age and level-appropriate fellowships for master’s and doctoral studies, with stipends and a multi-year plan tied to degree progress. Awards are designed for non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents who will be pursuing full-time study in accredited U.S. institutions.

Stipend for master’s or doctoral studies; eligibility for continued support through the fellowship term (specific funding details available on the official page).

Applicants must identify as women, be non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and be admitted or enrolled in their first master’s or a doctoral degree program in STEM at an accredited institution in the United States.
