Online Application Instructions: Wadsworth International Fellowship

Official “Wadsworth International Fellowship Application Forms” and required attachments must be submitted using the Foundation's online application submission procedure, which uses a third-party platform, Blackbaud/Microedge’s Internet Grants Application Module (IGAM). (Read their privacy statement here.)

If it is not possible to submit your application online because of inadequate internet access in your country of origin, you must notify the Foundation at least one week before the deadline to arrange to submit an application by conventional mail (internationalprograms@wennergren.org). Please note: application forms that are e-mailed or faxed to the Foundation will not be accepted. Please refer to the application procedures for details and guidelines about the information requested in the application.

In addition, all applicants must physically mail two (2) complete, printed copies of the official Wadsworth International Fellowship Application Form, the Applicant's CV, the Host Sponsor's CV, and the Applicant's official transcripts to the Foundation offices. This material must be postmarked by the application deadline (and received by the Foundation no later than two weeks after the deadline) or your application will not be reviewed.
