Graduate Women International offers a number of international fellowships and grants<\/span> to women graduates for postgraduate research, study and training.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Every three years GWI offers a fellowships programme that makes it possible for women graduates to complete exciting research in many important fields. For example, they are exploring new frontiers in medicine, analysing the impact of global trends on women and children and assessing conservation efforts. Many are working in areas directly related to GWI priority interests. Their studies will have far-reaching benefits, for their own careers, and for the communities and countries from which they come.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The British Federation of Women Graduates has a designated International Fellowship Fund from which it contributes to the grant every three years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2025 BFWG International Fellowship Fund contributed \u00a33,000 under the Ida Smedley MacLean Fellowship.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
