• Bassett Fellowship Application

  • The Foundation for International Education in Neurological Surgery (FIENS)/Bassett Fellowship offers an international traveling fellowship for neurosurgeons who, at the time of their application, are either training in a residency program in a low-or-middle income country or who have completed residency training in a low-or-middle income country within the past five years.

    The fellowship will cover the traveling and living expenses for a three-month period to be spent observing the activities of a neurosurgical service that has an established relationship with FIENS. Fellowships will be awarded yearly on the basis of a competitive evaluation by a committee composed of FIENS members. The maximum fellowship stipend is $7,000.

    Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with review periods occurring May 1 and November 1 of each year. Applicants will receive notification by the end of May and the end of November. 

    Your application must include:

    • A statement defining the purpose of your proposed fellowship that includes a statement of your intention to return to your home country after completion of the fellowship.
    • A letter of recommendation from your neurosurgical program director or other neurosurgeon with whom you have worked closely with.
    • A letter of acceptance from the institution where you intend to pursue the fellowship, confirming the description of your planned activities during the period of the award.
