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 and related disciplines at top universities for their disciplines abroad. Launched by the Schlumberger Foundation in 2004, the Faculty for the Future community now stands at 257 women from 62 countries and grows steadily each year.

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. They are also expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic careers and inspire other young women.

Faculty for the Future grants are based on actual costs up to $50,000 per year and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors. Candidates should have applied to, have been admitted to, or be currently enrolled in a university abroad when submitting their grant application. Candidates must hold an excellent academic record and illustrate their commitment to teaching and research or using their scientific knowledge in public policy advocacy.
