About this opportunity

Yale University is accepting applications for the 2027 Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program, a four-month, full-time residential leadership fellowship for emerging leaders from around the world. Hosted by Yale’s Jackson School of Global Affairs through the International Leadership Center, the programme brings together an international cohort of professionals who have demonstrated significant achievements and leadership in their communities, countries, or fields.

The fellowship provides selected participants with an intensive environment for professional development, intellectual exchange, and global networking. During their four months at Yale, Fellows participate in weekly seminars, salon discussions on global issues, skills-development training, individual and group coaching, and university events. Fellows also have opportunities to audit Yale courses, conduct independent or collaborative research, interact with faculty and students, and share their professional expertise through talks and panel discussions.

Selected Fellows receive a comprehensive financial support package including a taxable living stipend, a modest furnished apartment, medical insurance, and round-trip travel from their home country. Fellows do not pay tuition or fees to Yale University for participation in the program.
