Linfield College- Undergraduate scholarship for International students
Linfield College, a small private undergraduate institution in McMinnville, Oregon, offers partial tuition scholarships to qualified international students. The amount awarded is determined primarily by the student’s academic record as indicated on official transcripts, with some consideration also given to TOEFL or IELTS or SAT scores. The value of these awards ranges from $14,000 for an equivalent 3.4 GPA up to $20,000 for students with a 3.8 or higher GPA. A Campus Employment opportunity is usually added to the scholarship award, so the student can earn up to $2,520 per year by working on campus.
The total cost at Linfield for the 2009-2010 year for an international student will be approximately $41,000. This amount covers all expected expenses, including the cost of the optional January Term, the required Linfield health insurance plan, and an estimated $1,100 for personal expenses.

Hench Post-Dissertation Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society
Scholars who are no more than three years beyond receipt of the doctorate are invited to apply for the Hench Post-Dissertation Fellowship, a year-long residential fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society. The purpose of the post dissertation fellowship is to provide the recipient with time and resources to extend research and/or to revise the dissertation for publication. Any topic relevant to the Society's library collections and programmatic scope, and coming from any field or disciplinary background, is eligible. AAS collections focus on all aspects of American history, literature, and culture from contact to 1876, and provide rich source material for projects across the spectrum of early American studies. Our holdings include many collections that would be of use to environmental historians, including maps; landscape drawings, paintings, and
photographs; local histories; and agricultural manuals and periodicals.
The Society welcomes applications from those who have advance book contracts, as well as those who have not yet made contact with a publisher. The twelve month stipend for this fellowship is $35,000.
The Hench Post-Dissertation Fellow will be selected on the basis of the applicant's scholarly qualifications, the appropriateness of the project to the Society's collections and interests, and, above all, the likelihood that the revised dissertation will make a highly significant book.
Further information about the fellowship, along with application materials, is available on the AAS website. Any questions about the fellowship may be directed to Paul Erickson, Director of Academic Programs at AAS, at perickson@mwa.org.
The deadline for applications for a Hench Post-Dissertation Fellowship to be held during the 2010-2011 academic year is October 15, 2009.
