The World Bank scholarship and fellowship programs contribute to the World Bank Group’s mission of forging new dynamic approaches to capacity development and knowledge sharing in the developing world. They are also an important component of the Bank Group’s efforts to promote economic development and shared prosperity through investing in education and developing human resources globally.

Every year the Program provides grants of up to $25,000 to PhD candidates from developing countries to conduct innovative, development-related, PhD research under the supervision of a research advisor at a host institution abroad. Fellows must commit to working in their home countries after completion of their PhD.
