Choosing a fellowship is partly choosing a country to live in. UAE hosts a particular mix of universities, think tanks, civic institutions, and government offices that shape the texture of every program below. Some fellows on this list will spend the year in capital-city policy seminars; others will be embedded in a regional university or in the field. Read the official program pages to understand exactly where in the country you would be placed.

Practical considerations for UAE
Before you commit to a specific program, take a few hours to investigate the practical envelope around it. Will the stipend cover housing in the host city without supplementary income? Does the visa attached to the fellowship allow you to bring a spouse or partner? Is there a language requirement that is implicit even if it is not stated on the program page — for example, will daily life and meetings happen in the local language? FellowshipDesk lists the official application page for every program; ask these questions before you start writing essays.
