Wenner Gren Foundation: Professional Development International Fellowships

Please note: this fellowship replaces the Developing Countries Training Fellowship, effective January 2001


Professional Development International Fellowships are intended for scholars and advanced students from countries in which anthropology or specific sub fields of anthropology are underrepresented and who therefore seek additional training to enhance their skills or to develop new areas of expertise in anthropology. The program offers three types of awards:

  1. Predoctoral Fellowship for study leading to a Ph.D.;

  2. Postdoctoral Fellowship for scholars wishing advanced training;

  3. Library Residency Fellowship for advanced students and postdoctoral scholars within five years of receiving their doctorate to travel to libraries with outstanding collections in anthropology.

Requirements for Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships: Applicants must be prepared to demonstrate:

  1. the unavailability of such training in their home country;

  2. their provisional acceptance by a host institution that will provide such training;

  3. their intention to return and work in their home country upon completion of their training.

The applicant must have a home sponsor who is a member of the institution with which he/she is affiliated in the home country and a host sponsor who is a member of the institution in which the candidate plans to pursue training. The host sponsor must be willing to assume responsibility for overseeing the candidate's training. Because the fellowship is intended as a partnership with the Host Institution in providing the fellow's training, it is expected that candidates will also be offered support by the host institution.

Requirements for Library Residency Fellowships: Applicants must be prepared to show that travel to a library is necessary for preparing a research proposal or completing a project designed to advance teaching and scholarship in the home country. They must also be able to obtain a letter from their home supervisor or chairperson attesting to the applicant's need of library materials not available in the home institution. The foundation has set up host sponsors at several libraries with excellent collections in different areas of anthropology, from which the applicant can choose. An applicant must be accepted by one of these sponsors before a library residency can be awarded.

Amount and Duration of Awards: Predoctoral Fellowships are made for amounts up to $15,000 per year. Fellows may apply for up to two renewals. Postdoctoral Fellowships are made for amounts up to $35,000 for one year, with the possibility of one renewal. Library Residency Fellowships are made for amounts up to $5,000 for a maximum period of three months. They are not renewable.

Budgetary Guidelines: Professional Development International Fellowships may be used to cover travel, living expenses, tuition, student fees, insurance, books, and any other relevant categories of expenditure. Aid is not provided for salary and/or fringe benefits of applicant or for institutional overhead.

Application Information: Preliminary requirements must be met to determine eligibility for a formal application. There is no deadline for these programs, however, those interested in receiving a Predoctoral or Postdoctoral Fellowship application must contact the foundation at least six months prior to enrollment in the host institution. Library Residency Fellowship candidates should contact the foundation at least three months before their intended starting date.
