the schlumberger foundation is accepting applications for the 2013–2014 faculty for the future fellowships from September 10th to November 16th 2012 for new applications; from September 10th to November 9th for renewal applications.

the  schlumberger  foundation  faculty for the  future program, launched in 2004, awards fellowships to women from developing and emerging economies to pursue phd or post-doctoral studies in the physical sciences*, engineering and technology at leading universities abroad*.

the long-term goal of the faculty for the future program is to generate conditions that result in more women pursuing academic careers in scientific disciplines thus contributing to the socio-economic development of their home countries and regions.

the faculty for the future program is growing each year and has become a powerful community of 257 women scientists from 62 countries. grant recipients are selected as much for their leadership capabilities as for their scientific talents. ultimately they are expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic careers, to further their research, to teach and to become inspirational role models for other young women.

faculty for the  future grants are based on actual costs up to a maximum of usd 50,000 per year and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors.

candidates should have applied to, have been admitted to, or be currently enrolled in a university abroad* when submitting their faculty for the future grant application. candidates must hold an excellent academic record and be able to evidence their commitment to teaching, research or using science in public policy advocacy. candidates should demonstrate leadership skills and have a track record in encouraging young women into the sciences.

schlumberger  foundation is an independent nonprofit entity that supports science and technology education. recognizing the link between science, technology, and socio-economic development, as well as the key role of education in realizing individual potential, the schlumberger  foundation’s flagship program is faculty for the future.
