Did you know that the World Fellowship Committee began in 1946? Yes, four German women were the first to receive funds to further their studies and visited Sweden for eight weeks in 1948! Next, in 1952 a DKG- UNESCO alliance was formed and provided special help for Korean women. Next, between 1958 and 1960, an agreement was made with the Institute of International Education (IIE) to provide dossiers from which a Society committee could select recipients for study in the US. Then a program was set up to involve approved Canadian universities. Finally, in 1972 the World Fellowship Committee became a standing committee.
Since 1960 to date DKG has awarded $3,729,250 to 1029 women in 122 countries. Contributions have been $4,158,947.75, through June 20, 2021. You can be sure your donation to World Fellowship will be put to good use! Not only the women who receive these awards will benefit but also those whose lives are touched by them in their homeland.
