Funded Fellowship to Study Human Origins from Leakey Foundation

Leakey Foundation is offering the Franklin Mosher Baldwin Memorial Fellowships for the year 2022 for students all over the world. The Baldwin Fellowships help students from countries where there are limited opportunities for advanced education in fields of research related to human origins.

• The maximum award is limited to $15,000 per year.
• Awards are limited to two years. 
• Baldwin Fellowships may be used to cover tuition, travel, living expenses, student fees, insurance, books, and other relevant categories of expenditure. Aid is not provided for family expenses or dependent support, salary and/or fringe benefits of the applicant, nor institutional overhead.

• Only scholars with citizenship in a country where there are limited opportunities for advanced training and education in fields of research related to human origins are eligible.
• The applicant must have a Home Sponsor who is a member of the institution where the applicant is affiliated in the home country, as well as a Host Sponsor who is a member of the institution where the candidate plans to pursue training. 
• In some cases, the home and host sponsor may be in the same country if the applicant is planning on obtaining advanced training and education in their home country. 
• Should an award be made, the Host Sponsor must be willing to assume responsibility for overseeing the candidate’s training. 
• Since the Baldwin Fellowship is intended to be a partnership between the candidate and both the Home and Host Institutions, it is expected that candidates will be offered support by these institutions in the form of financial assistance and, upon completion of training, employment in the home country.
• The Home Sponsor must be the department head or an appropriate individual from the institution with which the candidate is affiliated in the home country and in which the candidate intends to pursue a career.
• The Host Sponsor must be a faculty member of the department or program in which the candidate plans to pursue training. The Host Sponsor must be willing to supervise the candidate’s training and fulfillment of the terms of the Baldwin Fellowship, if awarded.
