Rothschild Fellowship
The Rothschild Fellowship programme was established in 1979 to help young scholars of outstanding academic merit and potential to advance in their respective fields. Up to twelve Rothschild Fellowships are awarded each year in the Natural, Exact or Life Sciences and Engineering and up to eight in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Fellowships are provided for one year of postdoctoral study and research abroad. Recipients may choose to spread the funds over a two year period.
