The Schlumberger Foundation is accepting applications for the 2016-2017 Faculty for the future fellowships program, which provides fellowships to support women scientists and engineers from the developing world to pursue postgraduate studies at leading universities worldwide.
Future grants are based on actual costs for eligible expenses up to a maximum of USD 50,000 per year and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendation from supervisors and strong evidence of reintegration plans into the home country.
The program also has an extended mission to encourage community building through in-person forums, with the objective to create an international community of women leaders who will support scientific development and act as change agents in their home countries.
