Welcome to the International Fellowships Program!The Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) awards graduate fellowships to candidates who have demonstrated social commitment, leadership and academic achievement. The IFP reaches out to a new generation of potential leaders from groups and communities that have traditionally lacked access to higher education and know at first hand the problems facing their countries and communities. Worldwide, IFP is being implemented in 22 countries and territories in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as Russia. |

Renato N. Pelorina
Renato comes from a very poor family in an isolated community in Masbate. During his initial years at the Adventist University in Cavite, he could not register as a full-time student as he had to work to support himself. He was eventually awarded a Japan Fund for Asian Youth Scholarship, allowing him to devote full-time to his studies.
