Call for Applications for the 2011 Faculty for the Future Fellowships
logo schlumberger
The Faculty for the Future fellowships are awarded to women from developing and emerging economies who are preparing for PhD or post-doctoral study in the physical sciences, engineering, or related disciplines to pursue advanced graduate study at top universities in their disciplines abroad.
Launched by the Schlumberger Foundation in 2004, Faculty for the Future has grown to become a community of 142 women from 43 countries.
The long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to generate conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific disciplines. Grant recipients are therefore selected as much for their leadership capabilities as for their scientific talents, and they are expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic careers and inspire other young women.
Faculty for the Future grants are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000 per year—maximum USD 40,000 for postdoctoral studies— and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors. The amount of the grant depends on the actual costs of studying and living in the chosen location.
Eligibility criteria and application process instructions can be found at New Grant Application Process or Renewal Grant Application Process.
The 2011 Awards session will open to applications as of September 1st to November 30th 2010. Guidance and application forms will be available from that date.
