The Schlumberger Foundation Awards Over 100 Grants to Emerging Women Scientists From Around the World

The Schlumberger Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating women leaders in STEM and “driving education, innovation, and thought leadership for a balanced planet,” has awarded 143 grants to women through the Faculty for the Future fellowship program

Established in 2004, the Faculty for the Future fellowship provides financial support to women from emerging and developing economies as they pursue their Ph.D. or postdoctoral research at leading institutions around the world. After completing their studies, the program prepares its fellows to return to their home countries and serve as leaders in STEM education, entrepreneurship, and policymaking.

The 2025-2026 cohort of the Faculty for Future program consists of 56 new awardees and 87 renewals. These women scientists study a wide range of fields, aiming to address some of the world’s most pressing issues, such as renewable energy storage, deforestation, sustainable construction, food and water access, and climate change.

“The Faculty for the Future program is not just about providing financial support; it’s about transforming lives,” said Capella Festa, president of the Schlumberger Foundation. “Our grantees are making significant contributions to their communities and the world. They are the future leaders, educators, and innovators who will drive sustainable development.”
