The Ford Global Fellowship, established in 2020, with a $50-million investment spanning 10 years, plans to support master level fellows who can devise solutions that support the mission to eradicate inequality from different strata of the society.
In 2021, the inaugural cohort's fellowship was extended by an additional two years, giving them sufficient time to dive deeper into complex projects. The program has planned to add 48 new fellows (from any Master-level program), doubling the initially planned number for the sophomore year. The fellowship community grew to 72 active fellows in 2022 Over the next decade, the fellowship aims to build a formidable network of 240 fellows from across the globe.

The fellowship only accepts students from the United States, Brazil, the Andean Region, Mexico and Central America, West Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa, Indonesia, the Middle East and North Africa, and China. However, fellows from India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
