Ford Foundation International Fellowships
Program (IFP)
The
International Fellowships Program, which
AMIDEAST administers in Egypt and Palestine,
provides a select number of exceptional
students with the financial  support
necessary to pursue up to three years of
graduate study at
any college or university in the world.
The program attracts students from diverse
backgrounds but is targeted toward individuals
from communities that routinely lack access
to higher education. IFP seeks to instill
within these future leaders the skills and
knowledge needed to improve social and economic
conditions within their communities. In
addition to providing financial assistance
for travel, living expenses and tuition,
IFP also offers preliminary short-term training
including language instruction, workshops
on research skills, and computer training.
A total of 213 students123 Egyptians and
90 Palestinians have been selected since
the start of the program in 2002 and began
their studies at universities throughout
the world.
