They will have the opportunity to study at Harvard’s School of Public Health and will have access to faculty and courses across the university through the Harvard Initiative for Global Health.
At the conclusion of their year at Harvard, the global health reporting fellows will begin three four months of journalistic fieldwork in a developing nation. The fieldwork is intended to provide an intensive learning and reporting experience in countries where the most pressing issues in global health exist. At the conclusion of the fieldwork, the fellows will be expected to produce a body of work that might include stories for publication, a case study focusing on the complex issues in global health journalism or a handbook of best practices related to reporting on health in a developing nation.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE NIEMAN FELLOWSHIP IN GLOBAL HEALTH REPORTING?
Candidates nominate themselves by submitting an application and supporting materials. There is no age limit and no educational prerequisite for a Nieman Fellowship in Global Health Reporting.

You must be fluent in speaking, reading and writing English.
You must have five or more years of full-time or freelance professional journalism experience in the news media. Work you have done as a university student or for a nongovernmental or governmental organization will not count toward fulfilling this requirement.

We will not consider candidates from public relations or organizations that do not produce general-interest news.
Your employer must grant you a leave of absence for the academic year at Harvard and the three to four-month field work experience, a total of 13-14 months.

Upcoming Changes to the CFA Institute Scholarship Program During 2012, CFA Institute will undergo a transition to a new scholarship structure that offers two types of scholarships for individuals pursuing the CFA Program: Awareness and Access.
Access Scholarships - Available for 2013 Exams In January 2012, CFA Institute will be making a needs-based scholarship opportunity available for those unable to afford the full price of the CFA Program enrollment and registration fees. In collaboration with our member societies around the world, Access Scholarships will be awarded beginning with the 2013 exam cycle.

Applications for the 2013 exam cycle will be available on or before 1 February 2012.
Applications for the 2013 exam cycle will be accepted from the day they become available through June 2012.
Up to 2,500 scholarships will be awarded to CFA Program applicants each calendar year.
Access scholarship awards reduce CFA Program enrollment and exam registration fees to $250, including the CFA Program eBook. (Scholarship candidates are responsible for any additional costs for substituting or adding the print option, including curriculum and shipping costs plus any applicable taxes and import duties.)

If you receive a scholarship, you must register and sit for the exam in the relevant exam year awarded or you will be ineligible for future Access Scholarships. In cases where a candidate's financial situation changes, Access Scholarship applicants can withdraw their application from consideration before 1 September of the year in which they submit their application.

Awareness Scholarships Awareness scholarship awards will reduce CFA Program enrollment and exam registration fees to $350, including the CFA Program eBook.

Other materials include a 1-page autobiographical statement, a 1-page resume, 2-3 letters of recommendation, and a transcript of college work.

Harry S. Truman Scholarship

2012-01-06T11:04:00.000+07:00

What: A scholarship for up to four years of graduate study in public service fields. Established by Congress, the Harry S. Truman Foundation's grants begin during senior year for students who intend careers in government or public service. Additionally, the Foundation provides assistance with career counseling, internship placement, graduate school admissions, and professional development.

Who is eligible: You must be a junior pursuing a bachelor's degree on a full-time basis; have a B average and be in the upper fourth of your class; be a U.S. citizen or a U.S. national; have selected a major that will permit admission to a graduate program leading to a career in government or public service at the federal, state, or municipal level; and have demonstrated an interest in such a career.

Selection Procedure: Submit applications to the SOP, which will convene a faculty screening panel to nominate up to four candidates. Semifinalists are selected nationally from university nominations, and are interviewed by Regional Review Panels composed of scholars and public officials. Each Panel recommends two people per state, plus up to six candidates for Scholars-at-Large.

In 2012, the Foundation will select 60-65 Truman Scholars from among over 600 applications forwarded by over 50 colleges and universities. Winners were chosen by 15 selection panels on the basis of leadership potential, intellectual ability, and the likelihood of "making a difference." Each panel typically included a university president, a federal judge, a distinguished public servant, and a past Truman Scholarship winner.

Deadline: UCI 12/3/2012 (Optional Review - Projected)

Deadline: UCI 1/9/2012 (Due to SOP)

Who wins: According to the Executive Director of the Truman Foundation, applicants selected for interview "show a long history of involvement in what the program seeks to reward (public service and government activities), have exerted leadership, have fine academic achievements, reveal some unique and interesting (preferably memorable) aspects about themselves and their experiences, provide a graduate school proposal that makes sense, prepare a carefully thought out and well-researched public policy analysis," write well, and have strong letters of reference. The Director's detailed description of the qualities that distinguish successful applications and interviews are available in the SOP office.

Many winners major in economics, political science, or history. However, students in a wide range of majors may be strong candidates because a wide variety of disciplines prepare students for careers in public service. Students majoring in such fields as chemistry, engineering, environmental studies, foreign languages, mathematics, and computer sciences (among others) are encouraged to apply.

UCI student Mukul Kumar received a Truman Scholarship in 2006. In 2005, Vanessa Zuabi was declared a finalist. In 2004, Jacqueline Chattopadhyay received a Truman Scholarship. You may view their applications - as well as those of previous UCI Truman Scholars - in the SOP office.

Finances: Up to $30,000: $3,000 for the senior year and up to $27,000 a year for three years of graduate study.

Comments: An outstanding and highly prestigious scholarship for students who intend a career in public service.

The application includes an analysis of a public policy issue or problem in the form of a memo to the officeholder you feel could do the most to resolve the issue. It also includes a statement of interest in a career in government or public service that shows how your educational plans will prepare you for that career, and three letters of recommendation.

Fulbright Fellowship

2012-01-06T10:53:00.002+07:00

What: A scholarship for one year's study or research abroad. Scholarships are available in 140 countries. The award was established by Congress after World War II to promote international understanding.

Awards are also available to teach English overseas. English Teaching Assistantships (ETAs) exist in 69 countries, in all world regions. Here is a complete list of countries where ETAs are available and statistics on the success rates of applications to these countries in the 2011-12 competition.

Please note that there are now 50 ETA positions in Malaysia and 20 in Bulgaria.

Who is eligible: Undergraduates who are U.S. citizens. Begin the process during the spring before your final year on campus by submitting a Pre-Application. See SELECTION PROCEDURE section of page for more information. If you win the scholarship, you will travel shortly after having graduated. (Fulbright states candidates must hold a bachelor's degree by the time of travel. However, you do NOT need to have earned a bachelor's degree by the time you apply.) Current seniors or recent UCI alumni may also apply.

Applicants who apply to use Fulbright funds for study/research in a country where English is not used should have enough proficiency in the written and spoken language of the host country to carry out their proposed study. Preference is given to applicants who have received most of their high school and college education in the U.S.

Selection Procedure: The first step in applying is completing a Pre-Application. To begin the campus process, submit your completed Pre-Application to the SOP office by April 4, 2012. After SOP staff receives it, we will meet with you to discuss the next steps. Also review the Application Process Overview that explains all steps in UCI's scholarship application process.

Subscribe to Fulbright's Student Applicant Blog. It focuses on specific world region/country program issues and contains articles written by Fulbright program managers and former and current Fulbright students. The blog also includes all program updates and provides tips for completing the application. Candidates can also listen to podcasts.

After completing the Pre-App and meeting with SOP staff to discuss your candidacy, you will work on the formal application. Your supporting documents, including three faculty letters of recommendation will be due this summer.

Letters should be written to the attention of the "Fulbright Scholarship Selection Committee" and be specifically tailored toward your application as a Fulbright Scholar. Students may hand deliver the letters in signed, sealed envelopes or referees may submit them to the SOP directly.

The Fulbright Program will NOT accept research grant-formatted reference letters for ETA applicants; writers must submit the ETA-designated reference form. Fulbright also requires that these ETA reference forms be submitted in hard copy, after the recommender has filled them out online, to the SOP office for inclusion in official, campus-sanctioned application packages. Once your recommenders have completed the reference form, they can print the PDF form and provide a copy to the applicant in a sealed envelope.

The UCI Fulbright committee will interview candidates to determine whether their applications have earned campus endorsement. The University will endorse those candidates the Committee feels have the potential to be Fulbright Scholars and will offer feedback for refining the application.

SOP staff and the office of the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education will write comprehensive nomination letters for each endorsed candidate and will send your complete application materials (including reference letters) and the nomination letter to the Institute of International Education, which administers the awards.

Finalists will be notified early in 2013, and winners announced in late spring.

Deadline: Pre-Application 4/9/2012 (Due to SOP)

Who wins: Winning seniors have strong academic records, good language preparation for the country intended, and a feasible study project. They make a persuasive case for why they would benefit from study in a particular country and/or at a particular university. To make that case, talk to a professor who has been there, and read catalogues of appropriate universities (available in the library and the Center for International Education). Odds are improved by applying to countries with comparatively low ratios of applicants to slots; in particular, consider destinations other than the United Kingdom. Individuals who have spent a year abroad in a university program are considered to be desirable candidates.

Of the 5,442 undergraduate and graduate students who applied for Fulbright Fellowships throughout the world during the 2010-2011 competition, approximately 1,061 received funding.

In 2010, UCI's Andrea Bishop, Jason Molina, Mark Sueyoshi, and Michelle Tsai received Fulbrights. Long-Co Nguyen was an alternate while Elaine Chou and Shea Horgan were finalists. In 2011, Curtis Brown, Jenna Otter, Emily Tsay, Liane Grant, Kristine Fuangtharnthip, and Boris Wong were finalists for Fulbrights.

Finances: These awards vary by country; they reflect both the cost of living and the length of the academic year in the country. Grants generally provide round-trip transportation, language or orientation courses (where appropriate), tuition, books, maintenance for the academic year based on living costs in the host country, and health and accident insurance. Specific information concerning finances for each country is included in the annual Fulbright booklet, available for review in the Undergraduate and Graduate Studies offices.

Comments: Fulbrights are prestigious, career-enhancing awards. They also confer special status on winners during their year of foreign study, as outstanding, officially recognized representatives of their country. Famous Fulbright recipients include Thomas Pickering, John Lithgow, and Renee Fleming. Most grantees plan their own programs. Projects may include university coursework, independent library or field research, classes in a music conservatory or art school, special projects in the social or life sciences, or a combination of such plans.

Scholarship News : Excellence Scholarships

2011-12-30T16:56:00.003+07:00

The ME3 programme has received the financial support from the European Commission within the Erasmus Mundus programme for its editions 2007-2009 until 2011-2013. This period of financial support is now over. Therefore, the ME3 programme does not beneficiate from Erasmus Mundus scholarships for its 2012-2014 edition. However, ME3 has been evaluated by the European Commission as a programme of excellence, and therefore ME3 keeps the Erasmus Mundus label to attest this.
The ME3 consortium will offer a few excellence scholarships for the edition 2012-2014. These scholarships will be awarded to the best applicants (based on criteria presented here) who will have submitted their application before the 31st of January 2012.
31st of January is the deadline as date of receipt for your application. The receipt is automatic when you submit online, while the delay can be longer than expected by regular mail. So we encourage you to submit your application online.
The results for the Excellence Scholarships will be announced by email to all the applicants having submitted their applications before the 31st of January 2012. The announcement will be made by the end of March 2012.
The Excellence Scholarships are equivalent to a 50% discount on the tuition fees (i.e. 9000€). For the applicants selected, this will be directly deducted from the tuition fees to be paid. It does not cover the living expenses.
Be aware that the number of applications for ME3 is very large, while the number of available excellence scholarships is, unfortunately, quite small.
We strongly recommend that you look for possible alternate funding. (see more information here)

With over 100 years of tradition and history, the Ritsumeikan Academy opened APU in April 2000 as Japan’s first genuine international university. The APU campus is a truly multicultural and multilingual environment with nearly half of the student population made up of international students from approximately 90 different countries around the world and an equally diverse faculty. With a mission to develop graduates who can shape the future of the Asia Pacific Region, the University has developed colleges and graduate schools focusing on Asia Pacific Studies with study options towards tackling the complex issues facing the societies and environments of the Asia Pacific region, and International Management providing study options focusing on the dynamic and multinational world of international business. In this vibrant and multicultural campus environment, students and academic staff work together to overcome the barriers of race, religion and culture towards a greater level of mutual understanding.

APU offers outstanding international students various scholarships that can help to reduce the financial burden. These scholarships can be applied for during the application process, and are Tuition Reduction Scholarships. The Tuition Reduction Scholarships are awarded to students for the purpose of supporting the idea of educating international youth so as to promote peace and international understanding. This scholarship lasts for the entire period of your study, as long as the students follow the conditions of maintaining the scholarship. Even after enrolling at APU, the APU Student Office will keep informing you of other scholarships available in the case you would like to apply for them.

The Tuition Reduction Scholarships range from 30% to 100% reduction. The Tuition Reduction Scholarship is mainly based on the scholarship application essay. Other factors that affect the admissions score can be academic results, language proficiency and your interview results. The results for what percentage of Tuition Reduction you will receive will be announced together with your admissions results
