Undergraduate: Pacific University offers scholarships to international students - up to $9,000 per year
Pacific University is one of the best traditional universities in America. This is not just our idea. According to US NEWS & WORLD REPORT, Pacific University is in the top 13% of the 1400 American universities included in our category. We can give you "Conditional Admission" if you meet the academic requirements of the university,
but don't have enough English yet.
We offer small classes with over 50 areas of study and several powerful ESL programs. Average university academic class size is 19 and average ESL class size is 12. Professors are interested in YOU, and they are easy to meet after class for advice and help.

We are a private university offering LARGE SCHOLARSHIPS for international students. After scholarships, our tuition cost is about the same as a public university. This means you can get a high-quality private university education at about the same cost of a public university. Our Career Center can help you find INTERNSHIPS before graduation and full-time PAYING JOBS after graduation (limited to 1 year by US immigration) . You can apply for part-time jobs on campus.
This will help you save a little money. It will also help you improve your English and meet people. (We cannot guarantee you a job, but we can help you apply.)

You can begin taking classes for university credit, together with ESL classes, with only iBT 53 (475 TOEFL or 5.0 IELTS). This is through our ELI Transition program. Pacific has a very strong ESL program, started in 1982, to help you reach our TOEFL requirement quickly.

There is a strong feeling of community at Pacific. It is easy to make American and international friends. We have many programs to help you get connected to other students, get connected to your professors and get connected to the community.

Pacific offers AUTOMATIC SCHOLARSHIPS to all international undergraduate students based on your high school or college scores at the time of admission.

The scholarship ranges from US$ 6,000 to US$ 9,000 per year.

Your scholarship award is PER YEAR for FOUR YEARS. You do not need to apply separately for these scholarships. They are automatically awarded to all admitted students. We will show the scholarship amount
on your acceptance letter and I-20.
While studying at Pacific, you must have a Pacific GPA of at least 2.0 (average score) to keep your scholarship.
These scholarships are only for UNDERGRADUATE students (both Freshman and Transfer Students). They do not apply to graduate level students.

A select number of academically meritorious international students who have a demonstrated financial need, speak English clearly, and are prepared to share information about their country and culture, may serve as the ICSP scholars at OSU each year. Students receive a partial tuition award, (approximately $10,000), in exchange for providing community
service throughout the academic year.

their respective websites.

receive a monthly salary ($600-$1,500 per month), full tuition remission that is equal to approximately $17,000, and a partial contribution toward the graduate-assistant- only health insurance premium. The availability of graduate assistantships varies greatly by department.  You may indicate your interest in an assistantship on
your application for admission.  You may also contact your prospective department directly for more information.

Supplemental Oregon Laurels Graduate Scholarship
Nominees must be resident or nonresident graduate students, domestic or international who have proven themselves to be academically talented. New and continuing graduate students in degree programs will be considered for Supplemental Oregon Laurels Scholarships. Recipients will be required to enroll for a minimum of 12 credits each term of the award.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic qualifications as evaluated from one's GPA during the last 90 hours of undergraduate work, one's GPA on courses taken after the first baccalaureate, performance in the current degree program (if nominee is a continuing student), letters of recommendation testifying to the student's academic ability, and GRE or other standard test scores, when available. Evaluation will be made by the Dean of the Graduate School.

Fellowship: Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships
Applications due August 1, 2010.

Each year the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships (AFPF) brings approximately ten mid-career reporters and editors--usually between the ages of 25 and 35--to America for a six-month, in-depth, practical introduction to the professional and ethical standards of the U.S. print media. Among those who have succeeded are Fellows who have become top editors and newsroom managers, founders of news outlets and public relation firms, section heads, bureau chiefs, chief or foreign correspondents, and university professors.
Many have received Fulbright, Neiman, Reuters and Yale World Fellowships as well as Chevening Scholarships, and others have received awards, prizes, overseas assignments and/or found jobs outside of their home country.

Fellows arrive in Washington, DC, for a two-week group orientation before they start as staff reporters, one per host, in newsrooms across the United States. Usually assigned to the city desk to cover local news and features, Fellows may rotate among other sections--arts, business, editorial features, online, etc. With the support and commitment of our host publications, Fellows can enter fully into daily newsroom activities. Guided by talented host reporters and editors, they are able to learn firsthand the practical realities and influential role of journalism in this country.

Of the many training programs available to journalists, the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships is the only one to offer a non-academic, long-term, hands-on experience in a single newsroom. The late Alfred Friendly, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and former managing editor of The Washington Post, believed that working side by side with reporters and editors is the best way to absorb the practical realities of journalism in this country and
the instrumental role it plays in our society.

Alfred Friendly set the following three primary objectives for the fellowship program:

   - Enable Fellows to gain a practical understanding of the function and significance of the free press in American society.
   - Provide Fellows with experience in reporting, writing, and editing that will enhance future professional performance.
   - Foster continuing ties between free press institutions and journalists in the United States and their counterparts in other countries.


Criteria of Eligibility

   - An excellent command of both written and spoken English as all activities are conducted in English;
   - At least three years of professional experience as a journalist in the print media;
   - Current employment as a journalist with an independent print media organization in the country of citizenship;
   - Early to mid-career status;
   - A demonstrated personal commitment to a career in journalism in the home country.

2010アメリカ理系大学院留学説明会

2010年6月25日(金)に、Yale Universityの地球学科の是永淳先生をお招きして、「アメリカ理系大学院留学セミナー」を開催し、大勢の方が参加してくださいました。
100625science.jpg

是永先生は、ご自身でも「理系留学のススメ」 というサイトを立ち上げていらっしゃいますが、アメリカ理系大学院留学について詳しくお話してくださいました。トピックも多岐に渡り、「理系分野でなぜアメリカ留学が良いか」、「大学選びについて」、「GPA、エッセイ、推薦状、その他応募書類」、「合格に近づくために出来ること」、などなど、メモを取る時間が追いつかないほど!Ψ(・O・)Ψ
講義後も活発な質問があり、参加した皆さんから「モチベーションがあがった」、「具体的で大変わかりやすかった」という声が多く寄せられました。参加者からの感想を少しご紹介しましょう。
-実際に米国の理系大学院教授から話を聞くのは初めてであったため、非常にためになる情報を得ることができました。どの話にも説得力があり、ポジティブかつパワフルな姿勢が素晴らしいと思いました。
-非常にざっくばらんに興味深いお話をしてくださり、ありがとうございました。早速家に帰って「理系留学のススメ」をチェックしたいと思います。本当に、本日は貴重なお話をありがとうございました。
-お話をうかがってモチベーションがすごく上がりました。根性と気力でGREとTOEFLのスコアをあげたいと思います。

是永先生からは、具体的なノウハウに加えて、「言い訳をしない、人のせいにしない」「大きな目標を小さい目標に分割できるか」「出来る人と出来ない人の差は"自分を変えられるかどうか"」など、珠玉の言葉の数々いただき、大変感銘を受けました。

講師をつとめてくださった是永先生、本当にありがとうございました。
理系大学院留学を志す皆さん、がんばってくださいね。p(*^-^*)q
