Fellows must possess the necessary skills to actively contribute to the academic environment at their host institution. In some cases, placements can be arranged based on a scholar’s specific language abilities.

9. Does a scholar’s legal or immigration status affect eligibility?
Generally, legal or immigration status does not disqualify a scholar. However, asylum or refugee status in a safe second country may impact the urgency assessment of the scholar’s situation.

IIE-SRF carefully reviews each application to evaluate the scholar’s academic experience, the quality of their work, and the nature and urgency of the threat they face.

References and independent experts on the scholar’s field, country, or reported threats may be consulted (without sharing identifying details without consent).
Applicants may be contacted for additional information about their academic background or personal situation to ensure a thorough understanding of their needs.

Priority Areas for 2024

The Echidna Global Scholars Program seeks applications from Global South leaders in gender equality in and through education.

In accordance with recent global research on gender and education (for example, EGER, 2023), applicants working in the following areas will be given special attention for the Program in 2024:

Priorities by geography: West Africa, South Asia, and Central America are examples of countries and regions affected by conflict and crisis, as well as those with high rates of gender-based violence, child marriage, and early childbearing.
Targeted actors and communities of interest: Girls, young women, and people who identify as gender nonconforming who are poor; homeless or street children; populations who are Indigenous, migrants, displaced, or nomadic; children who are not in school; and LGBTQ+ youth
Research priorities: The research topics of Echidna Global Scholars must be focused on education priorities for girls, young women, or gender nonconforming people as they are relevant in their specific contexts, and they must be built on a gender transformative framework, looking to actively challenge discriminatory social norms or strengthen the agency of girls, young women, or gender nonconforming people.

Special consideration will go to projects that:

Ensure learning and skill development
Improve life outcomes by assisting with transitions to higher education and employment.
Research that employs intersectional feminist or decolonial methodologies and moves beyond disciplinary or practitioner silos;
Research that focuses on the following key questions for education systems:

What are the most significant challenges to acquiring a high-quality education, and how do these barriers change for girls, women, and people who identify as gender nonconforming?
How do these obstacles interact with educational inequality’s combined or intersecting impacts?
What are the most effective policies or strategies for overcoming these barriers locally and globally?
How can compounding and systemic concerns (for example, COVID-19, climate change, political or religious contexts) alter what we know about these people’s hurdles and responses to them?

Applicants who have not previously worked clearly on gender equality and education are welcome to apply. However, they must explain how they will integrate this focus successfully into their current and future work on improving learning opportunities and outcomes for girls, young women, and gender-nonconforming people.
