NMO Fellowships
Most of the institute's National Member Organizations (NMOs) provide special grants to enable young scientists (either their own nationals or foreign students studying in their country) to participate in the YSSP. Note: only limited slots available so there is a chance that selected candidates will not get funding from an NMO due to high demand.
The stipend varies slightly among NMOs, but usually it is € 1700 per month plus airfare. If you are not citizen of or resident in an NMO country you must find alternative funds (either from your home institution or other sources) to finance participation.
Special Fellowships
Applicants not eligible for an NMO scholarship must find alternative funds from their home institution or other sources to finance their participation. IIASA has limited funds for exceptional applicants from non-NMO countries. These are awarded as part of the selection procedure.
There are various funding opportunities for successful candidates who do not have own funding such as:

Roger Levien Fellowship
Dr. Roger Levien, a former director (1975 – 1981), a long-time supporter and a collaborator of IIASA made a generous gift to the 2015 YSSP Fund and established the Roger Levien YSSP fellowship.
His wish was to offer the Pardee RAND Graduate School students an opportunity to participate in the YSSP and become part of the IIASA network. The fellowship has supported four YSSP fellows to date. The 2018 recipients were Sara Turner and John Luke Irwin.
