Role Models for the Next Generation
Faculty for the Future fellowships are awarded to women from  
developing and emerging economies who are preparing for PhD or post- 
doctoral study in the physical sciences, engineering, or related  
disciplines to pursue advanced graduate study at top universities in  
their disciplines abroad.

Launched by the Schlumberger Foundation in 2004, Faculty for the  
Future has grown to become a community of 110 women from 35 countries.

The long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to  
generate conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific  
disciplines. Grant recipients are therefore selected as much for their  
leadership capabilities as for their scientific talents, and they are  
expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic  
careers and inspire other young women.

Faculty for the Future grants are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000  
per year, and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject  
to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors.  
The amount of the grant depends on the actual costs of studying and  
living in the chosen location.
