International Astronomical Union Fellowships

In conjunction with the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation funds a fellowship program for young astronomers. A fellowship in the amount of $50,000 is awarded annually to an extremely promising young investigator working in any field of astrophysics.

Candidates are selected by a panel from the IAU from applications received from around the world.
