　　International Fellowships are awarded for full-time study or research to women who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Both graduate and postgraduate study at accredited institutions are supported. Applicants must have earned the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree by Dec. 31, 1999, and must have applied to their proposed institution of study by the time of application (no later than Dec. 15, 1999.) Selection criteria include outstanding academic ability, professional potential, and the importance of the field of study to changing the lives of women and girls in the country of origin. 

　　Six of the 45 available awards are jointly sponsored by the International Federation of University Women (IFUW) and are available to members of IFUW affiliate organizations. Recipients of these awards may study in any country other than their own. 

　　Home Country Project Grants: Applicants for International Fellowships may simultaneously apply for grants to support community-based projects to be implemented in the fellow's home country in the year immediately following the fellowship year. Proposed projects must have direct impact on improving the lives of women and girls in the recipient's home country. Preference is given to projects that relate to the fellow's primary area of study. 

　　At the time of application, applicants must specify whether they seek support for a one-year fellowship only, or for a fellowship in combination with a project grant. Up to five Home Country Project Grants will be awarded. Applications for Home Country Project Grants may only be submitted as part of an International Fellowship application. 

　　The AAUW Educational Foundation is currently seeking panelists for the International Fellowships Awards Panel. Information on panel membership is available on this site. Vitae applications must be postmarked by Jan. 15, 2000. Vitae postmarked after that date will be held for future appointments.
