| Описание: | The American Association of University Women (AAUW) Educational Foundation's International Fellowship program provides support for one year of graduate or postgraduate study in the United States to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Six of the awards are available to women who are members of the International Federation of University Woman (IFUW) to study or research in any country other than their own (not necessarily in the United States). International Fellows are expected to pursue their projects full time during the fellowship year. Study may be pursued in any academic field detailed in the document titled "List of Academic Fields" at http://www.act.org/aauw/internat/index.html . This list includes the natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, arts and humanities, education, business, and other fields (e.g., architecture and environmental design, communications, home economics, library and archival sciences, public administration, religion and theology, social work, interdisciplinary programs, and law.
Master's/Professional and Doctoral fellowships support traditional classroom-based courses of study at colleges or universities. This fellowship program does not provide funding for distance learning programs or for degrees heavily dependent on distance learning components. Final decisions about what constitutes distance learning under these fellowships will be made by the foundation. |
| Финансирование: | Three award levels are available based upon the applicant's degree program:
1. Master's/Professional Degree fellowships carry a stipend of $18,000 for the fellowship year. 2. Doctoral fellowships carry a stipend of $20,000 for the fellowship year. 3. Postdoctoral fellowships carry a stipend of $30,000 for the fellowship year. Successful fellowship applicants will be invited to apply for a Home Country Project Grant ($5,000 to $7,000) to support a community-based project to be implemented in the fellow's home country upon her return. Information on applying for the Home Country Project Grant will be provided to fellows early in the fellowship year. International Fellowships are not renewable. International Fellowships fund living and educational expenses for a period of 12 months while a fellow pursues full-time study or training. Fellows may work up to 10 hours a week, or teach one course, with written permission from the foundation. Stipend checks are made payable to fellows only, not to institutions. They do not fund indirect costs; research assistants, equipment, and similar costs; publication costs; travel to attend professional meetings, conferences, or seminars; repayment of loans or other personal obligations (fellowships are not retroactive); grants-in-aid for less than a full academic year or travel grants; or travel to or from the fellow's home country. With some exceptions based on relevant tax treaties, the fellowship stipend is subject to 14 percent tax, which will be withheld by the AAUW Educational Foundation for payment to the U.S. IRS. The International Fellowship dollar amount must be larger than any other fellowship or grant received during the fellowship year and must be acknowledged as the major award; acceptance of concurrent funds of a lesser amount than the AAUW Educational Foundation award is permitted but requires prior written approval of the foundation. |
