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, the 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.
This program 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 sponsorships 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.
Applicants must:
Clinical healthcare degree programs such as doctorates of medicine or Masters of nursing are ineligible.
Each Quad Fellow will receive a one-time award of $40,000 to be used for academic expenses. This award may be supplemented by other fellowships or grants.
In addition to financial support, Quad Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in virtual programming with accomplished minds in STEM, government, and society. Upon graduation from the Quad Fellowship program, Senior Fellows will join a growing alumni network dedicated to advancing innovation and research for positive social impact.
