The applicant must have an excellent academic record and demonstrate financial need.
This fellowship honors the memory of Mostafa El Baradei, a distinguished Egyptian lawyer who was elected president of the Egyptian Bar Association five times between 1958 and 1975. Throughout his long and honorable career, El Baradei consistently advocated a free and pluralist Egyptian society firmly grounded in the greater Arab nation.
