Questions students ask

Does The Leakey Foundation accept international applicants?

2 of its 3 verified calls state that international applicants are eligible, 1 is for domestic applicants only. Eligibility is set call by call, so read it on each record before applying.

What levels does The Leakey Foundation fund?

By its verified calls on record: several levels at once (3). Each record shows the funding amount the institute states, where it states one.

How do I apply to The Leakey Foundation?

Each call links to its page on leakeyfoundation.org, and you apply there, to the institute directly. StemSkills Lab does not take applications and never lists a call that charges a fee to apply.

How often is this page updated?

New calls are added through the week, and every record carries the date it was last verified on the funding organisation's own website. Records whose deadlines pass are closed automatically, so anything listed here was open at its last check.

Can I get deadline reminders?

Yes. The alerts box on this page sends a reminder before a deadline you choose, plus a short weekly note of new calls in your area. It is free.
