TWOWS Postgraduate Training Fellowships

TWOWS Postgraduate Training Fellowships is for female students in Sub-Saharan Africa or Least Developed Countries (LDCs) who wish to pursue postgraduate training leading to a doctorate degree at a centre of excellence in the South outside their own country.

Each fellowship will be offered for a maximum of three years and will cover travel expenses and a modest monthly living allowance, the amount of which will be determined in consultation with the host institution.

The applicant can enrol as a full-time research student at an institution outside her country. In this case the fellowship will provide support (travel, accommodation and living expenses) for a maximum of three years.

Eligibility

The fellowships are open to qualified young women science graduates (generally below 40 years of age) from countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and/or LDCs.

The minimum qualification of applicants is an M.Sc. degree (or equivalent), or an outstanding B.Sc. honours degree, in the following fields of natural sciences:

  • agriculture
  • biology
  • chemistry
  • mathematics
  • physics
  • medicine
  • earth & environmental resources
  • engineering & technological sciences

    The host institute where the applicant wishes to pursue her doctorate degree must be in a developing country other than her own.

    Deadline: 31 July each year.
