Unesco fellowships are targeted to meet human resources training needs in the member states, and to observe at the same time the priority areas of the organization. They might be financed from the regular budget or extra budgetary sources as well as from sponsors and donors.

In order to benefit from the services of the fellowship program, those interested should submit their applications to Unesco stricly through their respective national commissions, otherwise requests could not be entertained.

The Lebanese National Commission managed over the last few years to secure a number of fellowships that young Lebanese researchers could benefit from.
