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 2020-2021 academic year, the Graduate Fellowship Program will provide support to 32 students from all graduate divisions of the University. International House Graduate Fellows come from 17 countries and were selected based on academic merit, leadership abilities, community activities, and their ability to contribute to the diversity in the House.
