The Quad Fellowship is an initiative of the governments of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. This first-of-its-kind scholarship program is designed to build ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists and builds on the renewed commitment to regional cooperation that emerged from the revitalization of the Quad dialogue in November 2017. This revival marked a strategic shift toward strengthening security, economic, and technological collaboration among the four nations, laying the foundation for initiatives like the Quad Fellowship. The Quad Fellowship is operated in consultation with a non-governmental task force composed of academic, foreign policy, and private sector leaders from each Quad country. The Institute of International Education (IIE), a global not-for-profit organization that manages many of the world’s most prestigious scholarship and fellowship programs, administers the fellowship.
