World Fellowships Committee

This committee grants World Fellowships in accordance with the Constitution and International Standing Rules when sufficient funds are available. They maintain contact with the World Fellowship recipients for the duration of their studies when possible and encourage members to maintain contact with recipients studying in their states. They also grant requests for fellowship extensions.

The World Fellowships Program began in 1946 as a project to aid women in war-torn countries. Through the years the program grew and to date more than 555 women from over 100 countries have received fellowships to enable them to pursue advanced study in the United States and Canada.
