A new $75 million grant from the Ford Foundation will allow 900
additional Fellows to participate in its International Fellowships
Program (IFP), an innovative model that broadens access to advanced
study for people from some of the world's poorest communities. The new
funds will enable the program to build on its success providing
opportunities for advanced study to talented, socially committed men
and women in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Russia who come from
groups that have traditionally lacked access to higher education. The
2,065 IFP Fellows selected to date have won admission to master's,
doctoral, and other advanced degree programs at top universities in
Europe, North America, and in their home countries and regions. A total
of 4,440 Fellows will receive support by the end of the program.
