Program Update – June 2004

IFP Policy Framework: Promoting Access and Equity in Higher Education In today’s “knowledge-based” economy, accelerated need for highly educated people in developing countries Rapid expansion of tertiary education throughout the developing world Women making gains, now represent nearly ½ of all tertiary education students in developing countries, but gender differences still marked in some regions Within developing countries, rural areas, poor households, minority ethnic and racial groups under-represented in higher education, especially at the post-graduate level Multiple strategies for increasing access, retention, and success rates for members of under-represented groups-e.g. diverse post-secondary institutions; flexible entry requirements; “pipeline” programs; “affirmative action” policies; targeted scholarship support

Key Innovations Explicit focus on talented individuals from excluded communities Decentralized implementation through partner organization Pre-academic training and placement assistance Worldwide study opportunities Leadership training and cohort-building at national, regional and global levels Post-Fellowship activities to help Fellows “stay connected”

Fellow Selections by Region & Gender 2001, 2002 & 2003 Began September 1999 when Foundation Vice Presidents presented the idea of a major international fellowship program to Foundation Trustees. Comprised of four phases… Initial exploration of idea (December 1999 - January 2000) Goal: Determine best educational model for a “signature” FF program Process: archival research; analysis of earlier FF work in international education Extensive internal and external consultation (February - April 2000) Goal: Define program parameters and key features Process: Field-based discussions coordinated by Reps’ Committee, meetings with field staff, set up IFP Steering Committee meetings Advance planning (May - July 2000) Goal: Design program “architecture” Process: Identify key program functions; assign them to particular organizations; develop idea of IFP Secretariat, in conjunction with FF field offices and IFP Steering Committee Initial implementation (August 2000 - Present) Recruit and hire staff for NY Secretariat Develop rollout plan for IFP in Group I, II, and III field sites Commission IFP logo Produce English-language brochures, policy guidelines, and applications Grantees prepare versions in Spanish, French, Russian, and Vietnamese Prepare RGAs to underwrite recruitment and selection in four pilot (Group I) sites: West Africa, Chile and Peru, Vietnam, and Russia (approved 10/1/00) Launch program formally in the US on November 29, 2000 at National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Undertake legal and financial process to create International Fellowships Fund, Inc. Convene First IFP International Planning Meeting, Feb. 1-2, 2001 in NY Prepare RGAs for IFP in Group II sites: Indonesia, China, and East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda) - submitted for Officers Meeting on 3/29/01 Prepare RGAs for remainder of Group II sites: India to be submitted for Officers Meeting on 4/12/01 Mexico to be submitted for Officers Meeting on 4/26/01 Russia IFP Fellow Designates selected in Moscow, 3/15/01-3/16/01 Chile/Peru IFP Fellow Designates to be selected in Santiago, Chile 4/4-4/6/01 West Africa IFP Fellow Designates to be selected in Accra, Ghana, 5/3-5/4/01 Vietnam - Final IFP Fellow Designates to be selected in 5/01 (pending government approval) Total 1,129 Fellows 51% Female, 49% Male

Lessons Learned Enormous unattended demand for post-graduate study among new groups of university graduates in developing countries Importance of non-traditional recruitment and selection practices that serve the goals of the program Importance of pre-academic training and “bridging programs” that allow Fellows to gain admission to high quality programs and achieve academic success Importance of “clustering” Fellows in academic programs and institutions that share goal of broadening access to higher education in developing countries Importance of decentralized program implementation and design

Ongoing Challenges Maintaining programmatic consistency while accounting for enormous variation among IFP countries and regions Creating a set of university partnerships worldwide and clustering IFP Fellows in those institutions Providing educational services (pre-academic training, placement, academic support, grants administration) to IFP Fellows spread worldwide Creating meaningful and lasting networks among IFP Fellows and alumni to promote leadership for social justice Designing and maintaining data collection systems for administration, evaluation and research
