The Ford Foundation's International Fellowships Programme (IFP) supported exceptional individuals to pursue doctoral and advanced degrees at top universities worldwide. Although the global IFP has concluded, various regional offshoots continue. The programme prioritised individuals from historically underrepresented groups who demonstrated potential as future leaders in academia, civil society, and policy. Fellows received comprehensive financial support plus professional development mentoring.
