Student Fellowships
Support for Scholars
The School of International Relations and Pacific Studies is internationally recognized for its excellence, and a key reason for our growing distinction is our ability to attract the best graduate students from across the globe regardless of their ability to pay. Fellowship support is critical as it ensures educational opportunity for these exceptional scholars and enables many of them to study at IR/PS.
When you choose to support a student through a graduate fellowship, your contribution has an effect far beyond the education of a single person—you are nurturing and supporting our next generation of teachers and leaders. You become a catalyst for change, linking a bright mind with the resources necessary to carry out ideas.
There are many levels of fellowship support. With a gift or pledge of $50,000 or more, you can create a named endowed fellowship that will be awarded annually and is a perpetual legacy linked to the prestige of the recipients and their accomplishments. Gifts of any size also provide support for student fellowships, helping us achieve our goal of doubling the number of degree-program participants.

Recently, six IR/PS students received full financial support through a generous pledge from the Robertson Fund for Government (RFFG). The RFFG has pledged $450,000 to IR/PS over the next four years and the program will cover expenses for outstanding students to complete their master's degrees at IR/PS provided they demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language upon graduation and work for the federal government for at least three of the first five years after graduation.
