International House is pleased to announce our 2025-2026 class of Graduate Fellows
The International House Graduate Fellowship Program helps ensure the exceptional geographic, cultural, and economic diversity that is central to the mission of the House and the University of Chicago. During the 2025-2026 academic year, the International House Graduate Fellowship Program will provide support to 100 students from all graduate divisions and professional schools. Graduate Fellows come from 46 countries and were selected based on academic merit, leadership abilities, community activities, and their ability to contribute to the diversity of International House.
Graduate Fellows have the unique opportunity to play a leadership role within the community and to exemplify the International House mission. Fellows are also given opportunities to engage with alumni and friends helping them build a powerful network that fosters personal and professional success for our worldwide community – including the network of 16 houses across the International Houses worldwide organization.
International House fellowships are made possible through the generous support of our alumni and friends around the world. For more information about graduate student life activities including our Graduate Commons Program and the Graduate Fellowship Program, please visit our website. International House is pleased to welcome such a distinguished class of Graduate Fellows.
