Applications for STEM Fellowship
Schmidt Futures has announced that applications are open for the Quad Fellowship, a first-of-its-kind scholarship supporting master’s and doctoral students in STEM. The program is designed to spur scientific and technological innovation while building global ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists.
The Quad Fellowship is a joint initiative of the governments of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States and is the flagship educational exchange program of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue. The fellowship will sponsor a hundred exceptional American, Japanese, Australian, and Indian graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to study in the United States beginning in August 2023.
Each Quad Fellow will receive a one-time award of $50,000 which may be used for tuition, research, fees, books, room and board, and related academic expenses (e.g., registration fees, research-related travel). All Quad Fellows are eligible to apply for separate demonstrated needs-based funding of up to $25,000 to cover costs related to completing graduate-level studies. In addition, fellows will participate in regular virtual and in-person workshops on a variety of themes, including the intersection of STEM and society, ethics and innovation, and emerging technologies; connect with top scientists, technologists, and national leaders from Quad countries, providing opportunities for networking and mentorship; and build connections within an international network of STEM innovators through flagship international experiences, including a week-long residency in Australia, Japan, or India, a weekend summit in Washington, D.C., and other in-country immersion offerings.
To be eligible, applicants must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application; be citizens or legal permanent residents of Australia, India, Japan, or the United States; and have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in a STEM field by August 2023.
