Independent Women’s Forum is proud to promote the work of our senior fellows, visiting fellows, and junior fellows.

We respect the independent thinking of our fellows, who may not always represent the official position of IWF.

We highlight their voices because of their valuable knowledge, expertise, and perspectives.

Every 12 months, IWF welcomes a new cohort of visiting fellows. Visiting fellowships are offered to highly qualified and accomplished policy experts or communicators throughout the country.

If you are interested in applying for the 2025 visiting fellowship program, please fill out this form by December 1, 2024.

IWF also offers a research-focused junior fellowship program for recent graduates and young professionals. If you would like to be considered for a junior fellowship, please fill out this online application.
