The following document - initially compiled by the National Association of Fellowship Advisors and updated for 91成人短视频 in July 2016 - contains information about a vast array of fellowships and scholarships which are open to non-U.S. students. They range from the highly specific (in terms of student's home country or area of study) to much more wide open opportunities, such as the Gates-Cambridge, Oxford Clarendon, Schwarzman and Rhodes Scholarships, and the Carnegie Junior Fellows Program.

Gates-Cambridge Scholarship
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Overview
Gates Cambridge Scholarships are highly competitive, full-cost scholarships awarded to outstanding applicants from countries outside the UK. They are for the pursuit of a full-time postgraduate degree in any subject available at the University of Cambridge. Selection is based upon outstanding intellectual ability, leadership potential, a commitment to improving the lives of others, and a good fit between the applicant's qualifications and aspirations and the program of study for which they are applying.
Academic excellence - Gates Cambridge Scholars are expected to be academically outstanding with the ability to make a significant contribution to their discipline while in Cambridge. At the start of the application process, potential Scholars are ranked by the department they are applying to. Only the most outstanding candidates are considered further.
Leadership potential - Successful applicants must be able to demonstrate a clear ability to lead. Evidence of leadership can be expressed in a multitude of ways but the capacity of Gates Cambridge Scholars to 'take others with them' is central to the success of the program.
A commitment to improving the lives of others - A defining characteristic of the Gates Cambridge Scholarships is the commitment of our Scholars to working for the greater good. Although broadly interpreted, this concept is nonetheless fundamental and sets this program apart from others of its kind.
A good academic fit with Cambridge - You should be able to persuade the Trust that your qualifications and aspirations accord with what Cambridge has to offer in its postgraduate program. It is important that you can make a convincing argument for doing a particular postgraduate degree at Cambridge. It is therefore important that you fully research your proposed degree using the Graduate Studies Prospectus and the website of the department to which you are applying.
