Fellowship Experience

The benefits of becoming an ISF Fellow take many forms. The program is personalized and tailored to Fellows’ needs as they grow during their fellowship year and beyond. All ISF Fellows receive access to the following benefits:

  • 1 Convenings Each February, Fellows from every region participate in a global convening, commencing the yearlong program. Fellows reconvene with their regional cohorts during the second half of their fellowship to discuss international affairs in smaller settings.
  • 2 Network Events Fellows are invited to virtual and in-person events hosted by ISF and partner organizations, including briefings with subject-matter experts, Fellow-led discussions, and leadership and upskilling courses.
