L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellowship

Funding Agency:

L'Oreal USA

The For Women in Science program was created out of a simple belief: the world needs science, and science needs women because women in science have the power to change the world.

The program is the U.S. component of the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Fellowships program. Celebrating its twentieth year in the U.S., the For Women in Science program has awarded 100 postdoctoral women scientists over $5 million in grants.

L’Oréal USA partners with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to manage the program’s application and peer-review process. Each year, the program attracts talented applicants from diverse STEM fields, representing some of the nation’s leading academic institutions and laboratories.

Deadline: Jan. 26, 2024
