The U.S. Fellowship Program has become an important component of the larger L?Or?al Group?s international initiative, the L?OR?AL-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards. The Awards, launched in 1998, annually identify five established women scientific researchers from around the world as Laureates, and grant 15 international fellowships to promising young women scientists at doctoral or post-doctoral levels. Since its creation, the For Women in Science program has recognized the past and potential achievements of well over 100 women scientists from more than 45 countries around the world involved in the life and material sciences.
