ELEVATING THE BRIGHTEST MINDS IN STEM FOR COLLECTIVE GOOD



SPONSORED BY




ABOUT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Quad Fellowship is an initiative of the governments of Australia, India,
Japan, and the United States. Announced by the Quad partners on September 24,
2021, this first-of-its-kind scholarship program is designed to build ties among
the next generation of scientists and technologists. The Quad Fellowship is
operated in consultation with a non-governmental task force composed of
academic, foreign policy, and private sector leaders from each Quad country.
Beginning in 2024, the fellowship will be administered by the Institute of
International Education (IIE), a global not-for-profit organization that manages
many of the world’s most prestigious scholarship and fellowship programs.

The Quad Fellowship sponsors exceptional master's and doctoral students to study
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the United States.
The fellowship supports students from the four Quad countries – Australia,
India, Japan, and the United States and expands this year to include sponsorship
of students from the ASEAN countries. The fellowship develops a network of
science and technology experts committed to advancing innovation and
collaboration in the private, public, and academic sectors, in their own nations
and among Quad countries. The program builds foundational understanding among
Quad Fellows of one another's societies and cultures through programming and
networking opportunities with each country's top scientists, technologists, and
politicians.

   Selected fellows must have no legal barrier to entry to the United States
   that would prevent them from acquiring a student visa to accept their Quad
   Fellowship. Failure to obtain a visa for any reason will result in your

   You may reapply in subsequent years so long as you plan to be enrolled in a
   qualified academic program during your time as a Fellow. We recommend
   indicating what has changed for you academically, personally, and
   professionally since your last application.
   
   

 * IF I AM NOT SELECTED TO BE A QUAD FELLOW, CAN I REQUEST FEEDBACK FROM THE
   QUAD FELLOWSHIP SELECTION TEAM?
