World Fellowship Fund
“This assistance enabled me to prioritize my research and my studies.”
-Omnia Elebyary, Egypt – University of Toronto, PhD in Dentistry
“Apart from the financial support, what I admire the most is the connection
and the feeling of being part of the network. It is always good to receive letters
or emails from the DKG community. The occasional checkups and wishes for
celebrations mean a lot. It makes me feel less lonley in a foreign country.”
-Piyumi Bandaranayake, Sri Lanka – Georgia State University, Economics
The World Fellowship Fund provides grants for women who are not DKG members and are
attending universities in the United States and Canada. Recipients may not be citizens or permanent
residents of the United States of America or Canada.
