About Us

Mission

The Quad Fellowship empowers exceptional engineering, mathematics, science, and technology graduate students to advance research and innovation with a lens of positive social impact throughout their careers by providing scholarships, immersive and inspiring events, mentorship and career-advancing programming, and cross-cultural exchange opportunities.

The Quad Fellowship is operated in consultation with a non-governmental task force composed of academic, foreign policy, and private sector leaders from each Quad country. Beginning in 2024, the fellowship will be administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), a global not-for-profit organization that manages many of the world’s most prestigious scholarship and fellowship programs.

International Advisory Board

The Quad Fellowship’s International Advisory Board (IAB) offers high-level guidance, in a volunteer and non-executive capacity, on all aspects of the Quad Fellowship. The IAB is composed of leaders in academia, government, business, civil society, and technology from all four Quad countries. Each Quad country has nominated a former government representative and a senior STEM representative to serve on the board.

The IAB also includes independent STEM advisors and welcomes representatives from the Quad Fellowship’s corporate and civil society partners, including Accenture, Blackstone, Boeing, Google, Mastercard, the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, and Western Digital.
