Grad: UC Davis Extension offers discount for 2 Winter Quarter programs

C Davis Extension is happy to announce  a discount of $200 for Winter Quarter's English for Science and Technology Program (EST) as well as the Communication and Culture Program (CCP) . This offer will reduce
the tuition of each student to $1,440 (EST) and $1,290 (CCP).

Our English for Science and Technology Program received an enthusiastic response from students and institutions.
Comments from Summer Quarter students include:
* "Field trips. We do not usually have such an opportunity to visit research institutions in the United States. Therefore, it was really a rare and important experience for me."
* "The different ways to teach English for the four different parts of the program is a great way to improve oral English and research English (presentation, listening & pronunciation, field trips, hot topics)."

Our Communication and Culture Program has produced significant gains in students' confidence and motivation.
In the students' words, what they liked most was:
* "The useful knowledge I learn here. Most of the courses are very interesting, and inspire students to study English more diligently and create the desire to know more about American culture."
* "Good qualified teachers, lovely staff, wonderful cultural exchange."
*  "We had access to many resources at the computer labs and library, many out-door activities such as the Ice Cream Social and many field trips to famous landscapes in California."

LIBRARY RESEARCH GRANTS AVAILABLE FROM THE FRIENDS OF THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY -UP TO $3,500 USD Application deadline: January 15, 2011

Each year, the Friends of the Princeton University Library offer short-term Library Research Grants to promote scholarly use of the research collections. The Program in Hellenic Studies with the support of the Stanley J. Seeger Fund also supports a limited number of library fellowships in Hellenic studies, and the Cotsen Children's Library supports research in its collection on aspects of children's books. The Maxwell Fund supports research on materials dealing with Portuguese-speaking cultures. In addition, awards will be made from the Sid Lapidus '59 Research Fund for Studies of the Age of Revolution and the Enlightenment in the Atlantic World. This award covers work using materials pertinent to this topic donated by Mr. Lapidus as well as other also relevant materials in the collections.

These Library Research Grants, which have a value of up to $3,500 each, are meant to help defray expenses incurred in traveling to and residing in Princeton during the tenure of the grant. The length of the grant will depend on the applicant's research proposal, but is ordinarily up to one month. Library Research Grants awarded in this academic year are tenable from May 2011 to April 2012, and the deadline for applications is 15 January 2011. Applicants are asked to complete an online application form and submit a single Word or PDF file (preferred) containing a budget form, a curriculum vitae or resume, and a research proposal not exceeding one thousand words in length. Applicants must also arrange for two confidential letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the Library Research Grants Committee.
A committee consisting of members of the faculty, the library staff, and the Friends will award the grants on the basis of the relevance of the proposal to unique holdings of the library, the merits and significance of the project, and the applicant's scholarly qualifications. Awards will be made by April 7th, 2011.

MIDDLEBURY FELLOWSHIPS IN ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM
Application deadline: May 15, 2011

The Middlebury Fellowships in Environmental Journalism each year take 10 journalists near the start of their careers and help them work through an ambitious reporting project in print, web-based, or radio journalism, from the beginning through publication or broadcast.
Fellows meet together twice during the year, once in the fall on the Middlebury campus in Vermont, and once in the spring at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in California.
At these meetings professional journalists help participants plan their reporting and shape their stories. Graduate fellows each receive $10,000 to help with reporting and living expenses during the fellowship year--enough, we hope, to let the reporting project be one significant focus of their year's work. We interpret the environment broadly--reporting projects dealing with economics, culture, global issues, and the like are fine, as long as they center in some way on the human relationship with the physical world.

Application Requirements
Interested applicants should write a two- or three-page letter pitching their idea, just as they would to an editor at a magazine or a broadcast program. The letter should demonstrate enough preliminary research to make clear there's really a story, and that it will be possible for the applicant to successfully report it. The letter should also include a proposed plan of research for the fellowship year. Web and video applications should demonstrate the same focus on reported stories emphasizing context and history as long-fact written pieces.
Applicants should enclose three writing or broadcast samples, preferably of professionally published work, as well as recommendations from two people who have worked with the applicant as an editor or teacher, and a resume with contact information. Resumes, pitches and letters should be written or copied on plain recycled copier or printer weight paper, double-sided if possible, and held together using paper clips rather than staples. Recommendations should be enclosed with the application unless arrangements are made ahead of
time, but need not be sealed.
Journalists from outside the United States are encouraged to apply if they can demonstrate proficiency in written English.

2011-2012 WILLIAM S. VAUGHN VISITING FELLOWSHIP
"SACRED ECOLOGY: LANDSCAPE TRANSFORMATIONS FOR RITUAL PRACTICE"

The Warren Center will host a year-long interdisciplinary faculty seminar to explore the manifold experiences of complex ritual sites around the world and across all periods of human history.  Sacred ecology refers to the human experience of divinity in relation to the natural environment, real or represented.  Landscape is construed for our purposes not simply as natural scenery, but as a cultural complex in which the natural world and human practice, conceptual and material, are dynamically linked and constantly interacting.  An investigation of landscape may focus on pastoral or picturesque scenes, earthly elements and celestial movements, or constructed places and objects, such as a temple, altar, or stage.  We are also interested in exploring the temporal rhythms of human-landscape relations, whether regular or periodic, as well as the way in which transformations of space through activities enacted at sacred sties are received and replicated to encode other sacred spaces.
The seminar's investigations of setting, nature, and monuments will offer a chance to revisit sacred places and to see them in a new light.  Our intentionally broad definition leaves room for participants to introduce new topics to the table, such as (but not limited to):  the practicalities of survey and excavation and the mapping of ritual;  the natural landscape and its representation in words and images;  geomorphology and its influence on planning and architectural design; the modification and improvement of natural features to accommodate human ritual;  poetry and performance, whether on-site or remote venues;  or the visualization of landscape as a means of facilitating ecstatic experience.

We invite applications from scholars in all disciplines whose lively presence will help to focus our work and stimulate discussions.  We anticipate that the successful applicant will have completed the terminal degree in her/his field at the time of application and will have a record of scholarly publication.  The seminar meets weekly and will allow the visiting fellow ample time to pursue a major research project.  The combined interests of the visiting fellow and the Vanderbilt faculty fellows will determine the form and content of seminar discussions.

The visiting fellow is provided with a spacious office within the Center's own building. The fellowship pays a stipend of up to $45,000 and provides $2,000 in moving expenses.

MELLON FELLOWSHIPS FOR DISSERTATION RESEARCH IN ORIGINAL SOURCES - IN THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) is pleased to offer fellowships generously funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for dissertation research in the humanities in original sources. The purposes of this fellowship program are to:
*    help junior scholars in the humanities and related social-science fields gain skill and creativity in developing knowledge from original sources
*    enable dissertation writers to do research wherever relevant sources may be, rather than just where financial support is available
*    encourage more extensive and innovative uses of original sources in libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, and related repositories in the U.S. and abroad, and
*    provide insight from the viewpoint of doctoral candidates into how scholarly resources can be developed for access most helpfully in the future.

The program offers about fifteen competitively awarded fellowships a year. Each provides a stipend of $2,000 per month for periods ranging from 9-12 months. Each fellow will receive an additional $1,000 upon participating in a symposium on research in original sources and submitting a report acceptable to CLIR on the research experience.
Thus the maximum award will be $25,000.

Original source material means primary sources such as the following:
*    records, documents, manuscripts, and other written material
*    photographs, films, sound recordings, oral histories, and other audiovisual material
*    maps, blueprints, drawings, and other graphic material
*    library special collections, including books used as primary, not secondary, sources
*    original artwork, artifacts, and museum objects
*    born-digital sources such as websites, wikis, and blogs

Who is eligible to apply?
To be eligible, an applicant will--
*    be enrolled in a doctoral program in a graduate school in the United States (master's thesis research is not eligible)
*    complete all doctoral requirements except the dissertation and be ready to start research for it as early as June 1 and no later than September 1, 2011, with approval of the dissertation proposal no later than April 1, 2011
*    plan to do dissertation research primarily in original source material in the holdings of archives, libraries, historical societies, museums, related repositories, or a combination
*    write the dissertation and receive the Ph.D. degree in a field of the humanities or in a related element of the social sciences (candidates for the Ed.D, J.D., or D.D. degrees are not eligible).

An applicant may be of any nationality but must be enrolled in a U.S. graduate school and be studying here, not on a campus abroad even if operated by a U.S. institution. Proposed research may be conducted at a single or multiple sites abroad, in the U.S., or both. Any relevant repository may be used, including government archives and private collections accessible to the applicant. Preference is given to applicants who will be studying away from their home institution.
Those who are conducting original source research using online sources in novel or innovative ways are eligible to apply for this fellowship.

　２０１０年１０月２２日にPortland Community College　（PCC)　のMs. Magdalena Tolva (Assistant Director of the Office of International Education) がフルブライト・ジャパンを訪問してくださいました。
PCCはオレゴン州のPortlandにある、Community College(公立２年制大学）です。全学生数24，000人中、留学生は85カ国から約700名で、平均クラスサイズが１クラス30〜40名、語学プロブラムに関しては１クラス15〜25名とのこと。

PCCの特徴はポートランドの中心街から約２０分の距離にある３つキャンパスで構成された、multi-campusであることです。これら３つのメインキャンパスに加え、サブキャンパスもいくつかあり、学生はどのキャンパスで授業を受けてもよく、各キャンパスの間をはシャトルバスが結んでいます。また、すべてのキャンパスにInternational Student Advisor とActivities Coordinatorが常駐していて、授業選択から銀行口座設立、住居探し、クラブ活動などあらゆる面でのサポートをしてくれるそうです。

PCCでは"Associates Transfer Degree”を取得して、4年制大学へ編入する学生が多いとか。人気の分野は　Business Administration, Computer Science, そしてEngineering。コストは正規学生で約＄１８，０００。

また、PCCの語学研修プログラム「Intensive English Program」は8段階に分かれていて、Level 1 to 3 は "non credit"（単位はもらえない）ですが、Level 4-8 は "academic courses" も含まれているので、単位が加算され、その単位はgraduation requirementにも換算されるシステムになっています。

オレゴン州は雨が多いことで知られていますが、その分、緑も深くて自然も豊か。都会にあるキャンパスで、4年制大学に編入を希望される方には、充実したプログラムを提供しているとTolvaさんは笑顔で話します。ELPが細かくレベル分けされているので、自分にあったレベルから始められるのもPCCの魅力。興味のある方はPCCのホームページへ。

 ２０１０年１０月１２日にUniversity of North Florida　の　Ms. Ruth Lopez (International Student Recruiting and Admissions)　と　Ms. Ulrike (Uli) Decker (Study Abroad Coordinator, International Center)　がフルブライト・ジャパンを訪問してくださいました。

University of North Florida (UNF) は、フロリダ州の北東に位置するJacksonvilleにある州立大学です。学生数は16,750人です。 "An excellent undergraduate school with good graduate programs"をモットーとしており、学部では平均クラスサイズが１クラス34名、語学プロブラムに関しては１クラス16名のことです。

また、"International Students should have a true American college experience”という理念のもとに留学生へのサポートも充実していて、例えば新入生には"buddy system"を通じて、アメリカ人学生とペアーを組むことによってアメリカならではの学生生活を体験することができます。また、 International Student Association の活動も活発で２年連続 "Best Student Organization"　としてキャンパスの学生クラブNo.1に選ばれたそうです。

UNFではGlobal MBAというユニークな修士プログラムがあります。このプログラムは４セメスター（２年間）プログラムですが、各セメスター、違った国で授業を行い、最終的にはUNFとヨーロッパの大学から２つのMBAを取得することができるそうです。

フロリダ州では、日本人留学生を増やす政策として、"Florida-Japan Linkage Program"　という助成金を提供しているそうです。UNFの場合、通常1年間の費用（学費、生活費）は$28,000ですが、この助成金受給者はout-of-state tuition（州外学費）がディスカウントされるそうです（内容は年毎にことなる）。

フロリダ州は国際色と自然が豊かな所だとLopezさんはおっしゃります。また、UNFでは、野外活動が好きな方にはいろいろな体験ができる施設とサポートが整っているとのことです。マナティーとスノーケリングができるスポットなど、学業だけではなく、余暇を楽しめるのもUNFの特徴だそうです。興味のある方はUNFのホームページへ。

UG: Worchester Polytechnic Institute (MA) Scholarships for International Baccalaureate Diploma Applicants

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is a highly selective technological university offering degrees with 40 majors in the pure and applied sciences, engineering, computer science, management and business administration, and the liberal arts.  Located in Worcester, Massachusetts, WPI has outstanding teaching facilities and laboratories and a unique academic program that emphasizes professional-level, individually advised project work.

Scholarship Opportunities
All admitted applicants are automatically considered for academic merit scholarships, which typically range from $10,000 to $25,000 per year. Scholarships are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study.  Most noteworthy, valedictorians, salutatorians, and IB diploma graduates with a diploma score of 40 or greater admitted to WPI are guaranteed an academic merit scholarship worth a minimum of $19,000 per year.

Another of WPI's newest scholarship opportunities is the Global Scholars Program. WPI has sent more science and engineering students abroad than any other private university in the United States. Today, approximately 50% of our students complete at least one academic project overseas (www.wpi.edu/academics/GPP/Overview/index.html).
Whether in Venice or Bangkok, Copenhagen or Cape Town--or at any of our 31 project centers around the world--students collaborate with peers, faculty advisors, and local community members on projects that make a
difference in the world. This scholarship program will help provide opportunities for WPI students to fully participate in our global curriculum for years to come. Each year, up to 50 Global Scholars are selected and receive a one-time $5,000 scholarship to be used for a WPI Global Studies experience.

In addition to merit scholarships, WPI offers a limited number of need-based scholarships to international students, typically ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. These awards are renewed each year, provided the student remains in good academic standing. WPI does not guarantee to meet applicants' full financial need.

JD and LLM: Hofstra Law School (NY) offers scholarships to international students

Hofstra Law School is now offering need- and merit-based scholarships for international students in our Juris Doctor (J.D.) and Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree programs.

Located in the greater New York City region, Hofstra Law School's mission is to prepare passionate students to make an impact in their communities and beyond. Accredited by the American Bar Association and Bar Council of India, Hofstra is a proud member of the International Association of Law Schools. We offer both full-time and part-time J.D. programs as well as LL.M. programs in American Legal Studies (for foreign law graduates) and Family Law.

The J.D. program takes full-time students three years to complete and is appropriate for international students who have not completed a first law degree in their home country. The requirements include completing fundamental courses in Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Property, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Professional Responsibility. Students also take a first year course on Transnational Law, a unique offering that promotes an understanding of the relationships between U.S. law and international business, legal,
social and political issues.

Hofstra Law School designed the American Legal Studies LL.M. program for lawyers trained outside of the United States, and who wish to either practice law in the United States or return to their home countries. Hofstra's nine-month, full-time LL.M. program trains students to handle the increasing internationalization of legal practice and navigate transactions involving the laws of multiple nations.  This program may also qualify students to sit for the New York bar examination and become licensed attorneys.

International students in our J.D. and LL.M. programs are fully integrated members of the Law School community. Candidates may select from over 200 courses and join any of our 40 student organizations.
These programs have attracted students from over 40 foreign countries.

UG: Green Mountain College welcomes international students - average award: $16,000

As a recent Green Mountain College graduate and its current Admissions Counselor, I am proud to be a member of the GMC community. In the past four years, I have witnessed the college's transformation from a local New England college to a national leader in environmental education and sustainability. We are all very proud of our students and staff whose hard work and creativity were recently recognized by Sierra magazine, which awarded GMC the title of the greenest school in the United States. As a former advisee of the EducationUSA center in Serbia, I warmly invite all international students and EducationUSA advisors to explore the wonderfully diverse opportunities that Green Mountain College has to offer.

The Sierra magazine story can be found here:
www.sierraclub.org/sierra/201009/coolschools/default.aspx

Financial Aid
During the 2008-2009 academic year, 90 percent of international students received financial assistance. The average institutional grant or scholarship for international students was $16,000.

Although Green Mountain College is committed to rewarding international students with excellent academic records, you should be aware that we still expect you to contribute significantly to your own education. Scholarships are available from other outside sources, and we are willing to work with you to find other opportunities for financial assistance.

About GMC
Green Mountain College is located in Poultney, Vermont, a rural historic town of 3,500 people in the beautiful Vermont countryside. Poultney is located in the northeastern part of the United States, situated about four hours north of New York City and three hours northwest of Boston. The weather in Vermont varies throughout the year: the average high temperature in January is -1 degree Celsius and the average high temperature in July is 16 degrees Celsius. Poultney typically receives 170 centimeters of snowfall each winter.

Green Mountain's setting provides opportunities for a variety of outdoor activities and adventure programming, as well as cultural offerings in nearby cities. Our intimate, community centered campus makes students the priority. Personal attention and support from faculty and staff will make your transition to the United States a
painless process!

Graduate: Foreign Press Association Scholarship for Foreign Graduate Students of Journalism


The Foreign Press Association is offering a minimum of three scholarships to foreign graduate students of journalism in the United States, First Prize of $10,000.00, Second Prize of $7,500.00  and
Third Prize of $5,000.00.  The awards are meant to encourage the pursuit of a career in journalism focusing on international affairs.

Applicants must:
Submit a one page statement indicating how a scholarship will affect your future plans Indicate if financial aid is needed.  List all scholarships and fellowships you have received towards your studies in the United States.

2) Submit an OP-ED piece (maximum 750 words)
   In many countries around the world, women suffer discrimination that prevents them from taking a full place in society equal to that of men and that exposes them in some cases to physical abuse.  There are many reasons for this unequal treatment, including cultural and religious traditions.  As former President Jimmy Carter states, "Women are prevented from playing a full and equal role in many faiths, creating an environment in which violations against women are justified.  The belief that women are inferior human beings in the eyes of God, give excuses to the brutal husband who beats his wife, the soldier who rapes a woman, an employer who has a lower pay scale for women employees or parents who decide to abort a female embryo."
Mr. Carter sees religion as one of the "basic causes of the violation of women's rights."

In your essay, discuss the status of women in your own country.  In what ways, subtle or overt, do women suffer discrimination?  What are the root causes of this unequal treatment?  In what ways, if at all, has the status of women changed over the last generation?  Finally, what role, if any, has the media played in your country to ensure gender equality and the rights of women? Please use statistics, studies, or other credible evidence to back up your assertions.

3)  Present proof of enrollment in a Graduate program of Journalism.
4)   Submit two letters of reference:
       a) from a current professor,
       b) from an editor you have worked for.
5)  Submit only two samples of published or broadcast work.  If work is in a foreign language, please send it with an English translation.
Submit a curriculum vitae.  Outline your previous experience in journalism and academic background.
Only applicants with F-1 and J-1 Visas are eligible for consideration.
Provide copy of documentation.

Five collated copies of all submissions must be sent.
The awards will be presented at the Annual Awards Reception in May 2011

Submissions must be received no later than December 30, 2010.
