The IIPP Fellowship completes the education experience by providing matching funds to support each Fellow's pursuit of an internationally focused advanced degree. This portion of the IIPP fellowship is jointly funded by IIPP and participating graduate schools. The IIPP provides up to $15,000 in matching funds to Fellows attending an Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA) graduate school. As partners in the IIPP effort, APSIA institutions provide matching fellowship support as it is available. Click here to visit the APSIA website. Eligiblity for graduate school funding by the IIPP program is dependent upon a fellow completing all five components of the fellowship program leading up to the graduate school component.
