Description
This fellowship provides substantial support to students from countries where anthropology is underrepresented and resources for overseas education are limited, enabling them to pursue a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree at internationally recognized institutions. The program is designed to foster international collaboration, strengthen anthropological expertise globally, and encourage recipients to return to academic roles in their home countries. The fellowship prioritizes those at the start of their graduate training and requires close collaboration with both a home and host academic sponsor.
