The Ford Foundation aims to strengthen its ties and support for local organizations working on issues aligned with its mission, focusing on empowering Ford staff not directly involved in grantmaking to engage with the core activities of the foundation. The foundation is committed to effective grantmaking through flexible support, transparency, trust, and minimizing burdens for grantees.
The Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship program awards approximately 36 fellowships to individuals working to complete dissertations leading to Ph.D. or Sc.D. degrees. These fellowships are administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and are intended to support the final year of dissertation writing and defense. Eligible candidates are those who demonstrate superior academic achievement, a commitment to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, and promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers. Fellows are expected to engage in full-time dissertation work and participate in Ford Foundation community activities, including updates to the Directory of Ford Fellows and periodic surveys. The fellowship includes a stipend, expenses for a Ford Fellows conference, and access to a mentoring network.
