What is the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program?
The Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program(IFP) is a Ford Foundation-supported program of the New York City – based International Fellowship Fund. IFP provides fellowships for post – baccalaureate study to individuals from groups or communities that lack access to higher education. IFP is financed by the largest single grant in the history of the Ford Foundation – $280 million. Through IFP, the Ford Foundation supports up to three years of formal post baccalaureate study for Fellows from 22 countries and territories in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, as well as from Russia. The program will assist approximately 3,000 Fellows during this period – 2001 to 2010.
