Fellowships are awarded to individuals with outstanding academic and/or professional record who meet the program qualifications, and who seek affiliation and international arbitration experience with the American Research Foundation.
ARF does not follow a formal interview process in selecting applicants, however a representative or a member of the fellowship committee may contact the applicant by e-mail or video conferencing if further information is needed with regards to the application.
Although fellows are part of ARF International Fellowship Board, they are not considered formal staff members of ARF and do not receive any compensation for their participation in activities requested by ARF. All tasks are based on volunteer basis. A fellow must not expect to receive any financial or any other type of compensation for being a fellow of ARF.
It is highly advisable for fellows to have adequate financial resources to participate in meetings, forums or conferences if selected by ARF to participate in their capacity as a fellow of the American Research Foundation.
