Description
This fellowship is intended to assist students from countries where anthropology is underrepresented and where resources for overseas education are scarce, enabling them to pursue a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in anthropology at a university offering international-level training. The program aims to strengthen global anthropological expertise and foster international academic ties. Priority is given to applicants who have not yet begun or are in the early stages of graduate training abroad and who are likely to return to academic positions in their home countries. The fellowship emphasizes academic excellence, clear training and research goals, and alignment with the Wenner-Gren Foundation’s mission to advance and diversify the field of anthropology.
