Requirements for Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship Qualification

The Dorothy Senesh Fellowship is available to women from countries in the Global South who have completed a Bachelor's degree, who have been accepted into a graduate program, and whose graduate work is to be focused on issues related to the goals of the IPRA Foundation.  Funds will only be dispersed when the selected candidate is admitted into a graduate program. Awards are considered based on need; therefore, students with substantial funding sources are less likely to be considered for the award.

This fellowship is not for research purposes and proposals.  Do not apply if you are male, if you are an undergraduate, or if you are not from a country in the Global South.

Documents Required for Application

• Application (English, Spanish or French)
• Letter of Acceptance to your graduate program (may be pdf)
• 3 Letters of Recommendation (recommenders must mention your name and their affiliation with you in their letters and must email letters directly to the Senesh Fellowship Assistant Administrator, Liz De Araujo.)
