Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program for Indians

The International Fellowships Program is the largest single program ever supported by the Ford Foundation. By investing $280 million over the next ten years, the Foundation expects to build on a half century of support for higher education. In the past Foundation programs have maintained the highest educational standards. Ford fellowship recipients have gone on to become leaders in institutions around the world and have helped build global knowledge in fields ranging across the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities and the arts. The International Fellowships Program draws on this tradition and underscores the Foundation's belief that education enables people to improve their own lives as well as to assist others in the common pursuit of more equitable and just societies.

The General Guidelines :-

The Program is especially designed to support candidates from groups that have historically lacked access to higher education. Eligible candidates who belong to marginalized and excluded groups and communities such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, other backward classes, religious minorities, women, physically challenged and those with other kinds of socio-economic deprivation are encouraged to apply.

Fellows will be chosen on the basis of their academic achievement as well as for their leadership potential and commitment to community service.
Fellows may enrol in a master’s level program and may pursue any academic discipline or field of study consistent with the interests and goals of the Ford Foundation (see IFP Eligible Fields of Study).
IFP will provide support for a maximum of two years of formal Master’s degree.
40 fellowships are available for 2009.
Once selected, Fellows may enrol in universities in any part of the world, including universities in India. IFP will provide university placement assistance.
IFP will support Fellows to undertake appropriate short-term language study and training in research and computer skills prior to enrolment.
Fellows who wish to study overseas will have to take TOEFL or IELTS language proficiency tests.

Be Indian nationals or permanent residents, currently residing in the states of Bihar, Chhatisgarh, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh or Uttaranchal.
Hold a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree from a recognized Indian university with at least 55% marks. Applicants who already have two post-graduate degrees or equivalent will be given lower preference.
Have at least three year’s full-time work experience relevant to their proposed area of study.
Have experience in leadership and community service or development related activities.

Applicants are required to:
Meet necessary admission requirements and language proficiency standards of the foreign or Indian university. Selected candidates who need training in English language skills should be able to devote up to 6 to 9 months, if required, to pursue a residential language training program outside their state. This takes place during the pre-fellowship phase after the announcement of the fellowship and prior to the commencement of the academic program.
Pursue a post-graduate degree that will directly enhance their capacity to excel in an academic, policy-making, practical or artistic field corresponding to the Ford Foundation’s grant-making areas.
Present a plan specifying how they will apply their studies to social problems or issues in their own countries.
Demonstrate their commitment to working for these issues following the Fellowship period.
Individuals who already have a degree from abroad will not be considered.
Individuals must currently reside and need not belong to one of the 10 target states.
Individuals belonging to the 10 target states but currently living outside these states will not be eligible.

Fields of Study

The Ford Foundation works in 12 grant-making areas to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international co-operation and advance human achievement. These areas are not to be confused with subjects for post-graduate study.
