Fellowships for Researchers and Students

Featured Opportunities in Fellowships

Fellowship opportunities

Fellowship programs are announced by Universities, Governments, Research Institutes, NGOs, Hospitals, Foundations, Libraries, and other relevant bodies, with a primary aim to serve the Science and Humanities. 

Fellowships establish long-lasting academic links between research-oriented individuals and Institutions.

A fellowship grants a certain amount of money to the fellowship holder, which may be equal to a professor's salary in the US University or more. 

Still, many international fellowships never provide money allowances and only grant the status. The difference between scholarship and fellowship is that without any financial aid, the fellowship may only offer some facilities of the particular university, i.e., library card, desk at the department, entrance to private meetings, etc., whereas scholarships always provide financial aid. Nevertheless, the main international and national fellowships also offer full financial aid, cover all research-related costs, and only in rare cases offer only a status.

Fellowships are becoming more required during doctoral and postdoctoral studies. There are very few undergraduate fellowships because the term would not be relevant for the undergraduate level. Fellowship may be considered a higher and more prestigious scholarship version, which grants money and a certain level of recognition.

Fully funded fellowships for international students and researchers are available regularly, and it is the duty of each applicant to find the best opportunities published online. Fellowship opportunities are scattered in the World Wide Web, and sometimes it may not be easy to find the relevant ones. 

Grants and fellowships are first of all provided by national Governments or Governmental bodies, such as Ministries and State agencies, so it will be wise to regularly check the websites of mentioned bodies. Every year new postdoctoral fellowships are provided by Universities and Institutes across the globe. Many UK fellowships may be found online and are published mainly on UK University websites. The interesting point here is that famous UK Universities such as Cambridge and Oxford are divided into several colleges, so each one may also announce its own college fellowship.

In their turn, US fellowships are disseminated widely via online resources and mailing lists informing readers about University fellowships at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, or Berkeley. 

There are hundreds of fellowships for junior faculty and curriculum development in the U.S. 

Aspirants may also apply for congressional fellowships in different countries and spend several months as an assistant to one of the congress, parliament, or Bundestag members.

Summer research fellowships are a fantastic opportunity for scientists to work and relax. During these summer fellowship programs, participants may consult world-famous scholars and scientists and work on their dissertations.
