Applications are now open for the 2018 Yale Fox International Fellowship. The Fox International Fellowship is a graduate student exchange program between Yale and 19 world-renowned partner universities. The Fellowship seeks applicants whose work has the potential to offer practical solutions to the problems which stand in the way of the world`s peace and prosperity.
The Fox Fellowship, through scholarship and civic engagement, aims to enhance “mutual understanding” between the United States and the home countries of our partner universities in order to provoke and contribute to productive dialogue around complex challenges and to offer current and enduring solutions. Initiated at the end of the Cold War, the focus on peace and conflict in general and U.S./Soviet interaction has expanded to include a host of twenty-first century challenges in every world region such as prosperity and development, poverty alleviation, environmental degradation, resource stewardship, and human rights.
