This rate is subsidized by the University and foundation sources and would otherwise be much higher. Typically, participants are funded by their governments, home institutions or by an international development agency. A limited number of full or partial additional fellowships are available for WISE participants through foundation support at the Watson Institute. Competition for this funding is extremely demanding. Applicants who are fully funded from outside sources are more likely to be accepted.
Full support includes air travel to and from the U.S. plus stipend.
