Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program

Yale University’s Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program brings innovative, multidisciplinary thinkers and doers from around the world to Yale for four months, from mid-August to mid-December 2025.

The Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program is a four-month, full-time residential program based out of Yale’s International Leadership Center and housed within the Jackson School of Global Affairs. The Program runs annually from mid-August to mid-December.

Midcareer professionals whose work is focused outside the United States can apply for this fellowship in New Haven, Connecticut. The Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program provides a chance for professionals to step back from the intensity of their work to reflect, learn and be challenged both academically and personally.

• Applicants must be citizens of a country other than the United States. While applicants who hold dual citizenship with the United States are eligible, strong preference is given to candidates whose work is focused outside the United States.
• Applicants must be fluent in English. An excellent command of the English language is essential to successfully participating in the program.
