IMU Breakout Graduate Fellowship Program 2023

The IMU Breakout Graduate Fellowship Program 2023-2024 is a fully funded PhD scholarship programme for international students. The International Mathematical Union Scholarship is worth up to USD 10,000 per year and covers tuition, housing, travel, and living expenses.

Professional mathematicians are invited to nominate highly motivated and mathematically talented students from developing countries who intend to pursue a doctorate in a developing country, including their own.

Nominees must have a consistently good academic record and be seriously interested in pursuing a career in mathematics research and teaching.
The donors, the International Mathematical Union, and The Friends of the International Mathematical Union hope that the fellowship will help educate the next generation of mathematicians and, hopefully, result in long-term benefits for those chosen for the fellowships.
