In September 2021, Quad partner countries Australia, India, Japan, and the United States announced the QUAD Fellowship — a first-of-its-kind scholarship program designed to build ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists. Set to sponsor 100 American, Japanese, Australian, and Indian (25 from each country) masters and doctoral students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to study in the United States from August 2023 to May 2024, each Quad Fellow will receive a one-time award of $50,000 which can be used for tuition, research, fees, books, room and board, and related academic expenses.

Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative, will operate and administer the fellowship program in consultation with a non-governmental task force comprising academic, foreign policy, and private sector leaders from each Quad country.
