Institute of Current World Affairs

The Institute of Current World Affairs (ICWA) identifies and cultivates rare potential by immersing promising young professionals in the study of a country, region, or globally important issue, positioning them to become leaders in their fields.

A prestigious two-year ICWA Fellowship provides recipients with the rare gift of time and freedom to explore a region, research a topic and expand their ideas at a formative time in their lives. ICWA Fellowship recipients then join a growing community of distinguished professionals who make vital contributions to their fields.
