The University of Richmond, a nationally ranked liberal arts college with a top 20 business school, is pleased to offer scholarship opportunities equal to full tuition. 50 students in every first-year class, of which 10-12 are international candidates, are awarded a merit scholarship through the Richmond Scholars Program. Recipients have demonstrated extraordinary academic achievement, exceptional personal qualities and potential for ongoing contributions to society. Additionally,
the Presidential Scholarship rewards students who have achieved a superior high school record in a rigorous curriculum as well as outstanding standardized
test scores. The scholarship funding provides up to $15,000 per year for four years of undergraduate study at the University of Richmond. There also are partial scholarships available in areas ranging from art to community service. The Bonner Scholarship in particular rewards students who have been active in community and volunteer service. Richmond scholarships are either full tuition or full tuition, room and board. If a student receives the full tuition award, the remaining I-20 costs are room, board, books, supplies, personal expenses, which total $12,100. If a student receives tuition, room and board, the remaining I-20

For over twenty years, the University of Richmond has demonstrated its commitment to internationalization through expanded international and culture-based course offerings, increased international student and scholar enrollment, and enhanced study, work and research programs abroad for students, faculty and staff. Most recently Richmond was named by Newsweek magazine as the hottest college in the nation for international studies and construction will begin this October on the Carole Weinstein International Center on campus, which will serve as a central location to coordinate Richmond's comprehensive approach to the internationalization of its educational programs and campus life.

Bowdoin College Mellon Global Environmental Scholar
The Mellon Global Environmental Scholars program aims to bring to Bowdoin experts in areas of Environmental Studies who add an international perspective to issues of interest among faculty and students at the College.
The scholar's background and expertise can be in any area of environmental concern, ranging across the natural sciences, the social sciences, the arts and humanities and environmental policy. While the program has a preference for scholars who reside outside the United States and are affiliated with a foreign university or research or policy institute, others with expertise in environmental fields in other countries may be considered. Scholars will be in residence at Bowdoin for one semester.
Bowdoin College is a small undergraduate liberal arts college located in Brunswick, Maine on the coast just north of Portland and two and a half hours north of Boston. The College has approximately 1650 students in residence and a faculty of over 165. Environmental Studies is an active College program with over 20 participating faculty, over 50 student majors and a strong commitment to strengthening the international dimensions of the program.
A main responsibility of the Mellon Global Environmental Scholar will be to interact with Bowdoin undergraduates both formally and informally. While in residence, the scholar will teach one course in an area related to his or her research interests. The scholar may also mentor undergraduate research projects on topics of mutual interest. The scholar will hold regular office hours and be willing to meet informally with students or give informal talks to student groups as interest is expressed. Lastly, as appropriate, the scholar may counsel students concerning opportunities to study abroad, either at the scholar's home institution or at other venues with which the scholar is familiar.
The scholar will also interact with Bowdoin's Environmental Studies faculty. Such interaction may include developing research projects with faculty who share common interests. As appropriate, scholars may be asked to consult with faculty on their ongoing research projects. The Mellon Scholar will also be expected to share his or her expertise with faculty through participation in the monthly faculty colloquium (Environmental Research Group). The scholar will also be available to consult with faculty who are interested in bringing international perspectives into their courses and serve as a guest lecturer in Environmental Studies core courses.
Lastly, the scholar will be invited to help organize a symposium focused on an environmental issue related to his/her expertise. The symposium will afford the Mellon scholar an opportunity to bring to Bowdoin experts from other institutions for exchanges that will enrich both the scholar's work and the Bowdoin community. Resources and staff support will be provided to facilitate this project. Bowdoin faculty and students will be involved in planning the symposium.
Bowdoin hopes the fellowship would lead to connections between the scholar's home institution and Bowdoin's Environmental Studies faculty. Such connections may lead to future two-way exchanges by faculty and students.
The stipend for the fellowship includes salary and benefits. There is an allowance for housing and the College will assist the scholar in finding suitable housing.
For further information about the College and the Program, please consult the College website and the Environmental Studies Program website.
The Environmental Studies Program welcomes inquiries from faculty with an interest in undergraduate teaching and building collaborative relationships with Bowdoin faculty. Persons interested in applying for the fellowship should email a letter of interest and a cv to the Director of the Environmental Studies Program, Phil Camill (pcamill@bowdoin.edu) and the program manager, Eileen Johnson (ejohnson@bowdoin.edu). For more information, please contact the program manager, Eileen Johnson.
Review of applications will begin in January 20, 2008.
