The Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program provides opportunities for advanced study to individuals who will use this education to become leaders in their respective fields. To ensure that fellows are drawn from diverse backgrounds, IFP actively seeks candidates from social groups and communities that lack systematic access to higher education, and supports them through local partner organizations in 22 countries. A growing number of IFP fellows have completed their studies and returned to their home countries, where they are forming alumni associations and networks, building a vibrant community both within and across national borders.
Who Can Apply
Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program applicants must be resident nationals or residents of an eligible IFP country or territory. Currently, these are: Chile, China, Egypt, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Palestinian Territories, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, and Vietnam. In 2009, final selections were held in Brazil, Russia, the Philippines and Palestine. All other sites will hold their final selections in 2010.
IFP selects Fellows on the strength of their clearly-stated intention to serve their communities and countries of origin, and expects that they will honor this obligation.
Successful candidates will:
- Demonstrate superior achievement in their undergraduate studies and hold a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent.
- Have substantial experience in community service or development-related activities.
- Possess leadership potential evidenced by their employment and academic experience.
- Propose to pursue a post-baccalaureate degree that will directly enhance their leadership capacity in a practical, policy, academic, or artistic discipline or field corresponding to one or more of the Foundation’s areas of endeavor.
- Present a plan specifying how they will apply their studies to social problems or issues in their own countries. Commit themselves to working on these issues following the fellowship period.

The Application Process
All applications must be submitted to the appropriate IFP International Partner in the country or region where the applicant resides. IFP International Partners determine application deadlines and selection schedules in their region or country. Applications are reviewed and final selections decided by panels composed of practitioners and scholars from various fields of work and study. The level and duration of awards are determined as part of the selection process. Ford Foundation staff and their family members may not serve on selection panels and are not eligible to apply for IFP awards. Members of selection committees, staff of the organizations managing the program in the various regions, and their family members are also ineligible for IFP awards.

IIPM Fellowship Programs (2010 Applications)
Dear Mr./Mrs,
I would like to offer my academic qualifications as a graduate from the faculty of Computer and Information Science at the respected Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt being one of the best universities in Information and Computer Science in Egypt.
I am writing with a deep desire to pursue a research position to the Master’s Program to develop my academic career path. I truly believe that my credentials will be of great use in the workplace environment. Due to my academic discipline, I possess a formidable basis of onsite independent learning. With regards to my grades, I passed my bachelor’s degree with distinction and I was ranked first in my honors class. I also have a few professors who have recommended me.
One of my greatest strength lies in Software Design and Development. Teaching several courses in programming and Data Structure such as Object Oriented Programming, Assembly Language and Information Engineering has granted me the ability to work proficiently with software development using many programming languages such as .Net, Java…
I would like the chance to hear from you regarding my abilities and qualifications, and to further my capabilities with a research position. Thank you for your time, consideration, and kind assistance.
Sincerely,
Hussein Haggag
