Oxford & Hill Scholarship

Oxford & Hill Scholarship

The Hill Foundation is a UK registered charity, which provides scholarships for outstanding young citizens of the Russian Federation or first generation Israelis of Russian descent who wish to study at Oxford University. In addition to scholarships provided by the Hill Foundation alone, three Scholarships for post graduates are provided in partnership with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as Hill Foundation Chevening Scholarships (see below under “Procedure for Scholarships). The Trustees favour candidates who have demonstrated, extremely high academic ability and also personal and social qualities of a high order.



They are looking for young people who intend to develop their careers in their homeland who indicate in their application that they wish to spend their lives in ways beneficial to their home society, whether in business, academic life, public service, the arts or the professions. There is no restriction as to the field of study or area of specialisation in which the scholarships are held. The scholarships may be held for one, two or three years (depending on the course chosen) but the grants for the second and third years are subject to satisfactory progress.

The Hill Foundation will pay all educational costs, including University and College fees, laboratory fees (where relevant), and any other necessary fees. In addition the Scholars are provided with a maintenance allowance of £9,750 (2007/8 rate), which is adequate to cover college accommodation during the academic year. The Foundation will also cover the costs of necessary travel between Russia/Israel and Oxford up to a maximum of £1,000 p.a.

Cambridge Health Science Scholarship

University of Cambridge Health Science Scholarship Program Description

The National Institutes of Health - University of Cambridge Health Science Scholarship provides a unique opportunity for pursuing a Ph.D. In order to maximize the learning experience, students participate in a collaborative project involving research in labs both at the University of Cambridge and the NIH, co-mentored by a research investigator at both institutions. Aside from working in two of the most exciting, respected biomedical research institutes in the world, students have the opportunity manage an international collaborative research project that expands beyond the confines of the scientific expertise of a single lab. As science heads towards an environment rich in collaboration that spans many disciplines, this program will shape the future scientific leaders capable of managing translational research.



At present, the degree requirements from Cambridge do not include formal coursework, enabling students to start immediately on thier thesis project. This program caters to students with advanced lab experience and a specific field of interest, having no rotations to delay thesis research. The research projects offered are very diverse ranging from biophysics to behavioral studies, neuroscience to nanotechnology, making for a very exciting atmosphere. Coursework and tutorials in a broad range of biomedical and other scientific disciplines are available at both the Cambridge and the NIH, but are not required unless specified otherwise.



The student will be expected to spend approximately two years at Cambridge and two years at the NIH. The time spent at each institution will usually be done in blocks of a few months that add up to the guideline of two years. Scheduling will vary depending on the research project and should be discussed with your advisors.



Students in the NIH-Cambidge program receive support for a stipend, fees, and medical insurance during the course of their study. Depending on the availability of qualified applicants, up to six new students are brought into the program each year.

Oxford Students Scholarships A number of Oxford colleges offer the Oxford Students Scholarship (OSS) to students from developing countries who, for political or financial reasons, or because equivalent educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own countries. This scheme is only suitable for candidates of the highest academic ability who have outstanding examination results. However, financial need and social commitment are also major criteria for selection. The scholarships are largely financed by undergraduates (jointly with colleges and the University) and cover University and college fees and provide a maintenance grant. Awards are not tenable to read medicine due to the length and expense of this course. How to apply for an Oxford Students Scholarship (OSS) in 2008/09 The OSS scheme is only open to students who have a place to study at Oxford in 2008/09. You must apply to UCAS and Oxford as described on the Undergraduate Admissions webpage. If you are informed by email or a letter from the University that you have been offered a place to study at Oxford in 2008/09, you may then be eligible to apply for an OSS. It does not matter if it is an conditional or an unconditional place (although if it is a conditional offer, you will have to meet any conditions specified in the email/letter before your place at Oxford is guaranteed). In order to apply for OSS, you must complete a separate application form. This application form will be available from January 2008 on this webpage and www.admin.ox.ac.uk/io. The closing deadline will be confirmed at the time that the application form becomes available. No other information will be available about the OSS scheme until January 2008. Please note that the name of the scheme may change. If this is the case, the words '(formerly Oxford Students Scholarship)' will appear after the new name to make it clear that it is the same scheme but with a new name.

Harvard University Scholarship

! Harvard University Scholarship If you know of a family earning less than $40,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free...no tuition and no student loans! To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making less than $40,000 a year visit Harvard's financial aid web site. Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers announced in February 2004 a major new initiative designed to encourage talented students from families of low and moderate income to attend Harvard College. While the new initiative has four major components, including recruitment, admissions, and a summer academic program designed to prepare talented students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds for college, the financial aid component increases aid for students from low and moderate income families. Beginning with the 2004-05 year, parents in families with incomes of less than $40,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of attending Harvard for their children. In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions expected of families with incomes between $40,000 and $60,000. The University has earmarked $2 million in new financial aid funds to cover this expanded aid next year, bringing its total annual scholarship budget for undergraduates to just under $80 million. The new initiative, which will take effect next fall for all students ? entering and returning ? is expected to benefit more than 1000 families on an annual basis. The new financial aid initiative is the latest step in a progressive expansion of financial aid at Harvard in recent years. Harvard College's nearly $80 million in scholarships for undergraduates in the coming year represents a 49% increase over the past six years when inflation rose by only 13.5%. This increase in scholarship aid has reduced the average student loan debt upon graduation to $8,800 for the Class of 2003, a figure well below the national average of close to $20,000 Title VII Indian Education Office 624 South 820 East Spanish Fork Utah 84660 Phone 801-794-0065 Fax 801-794-0099

GATES CAMBRIDGE SCHOLARSHIP

GATES CAMBRIDGE SCHOLARSHIP

In October 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation of Seattle, Washington, USA announced a donation to the University of Cambridge of $210 million to establish the Gates Cambridge Trust. This benefaction creates in perpetuity an international scholarship programme to enable outstanding graduate students from outside the United Kingdom to study at the University of Cambridge. The Trustees are required to award scholarships on the basis of a person's intellectual ability, leadership capacity and desire to use their knowledge to contribute to society throughout the world by providing service to their communities and applying their talents and knowledge to improve the lives of others. About the scholarships The Trust expects there to be of the order of 230 Gates Cambridge Scholars studying at the University at any one time. Although there may be variation in the actual number of awards made each year, the Trust seeks to elect approximately 100 new scholars annually. In selecting Gates Cambridge Scholars, the Trust looks for students of exceptional academic achievement and scholarly promise for whom advanced study at Cambridge would be particularly appropriate. The Trust expects a good match to be made between the applicant's qualifications and aspirations and what Cambridge has to offer. Successful applicants will have the ability to make a significant contribution to their discipline while in Cambridge, with a strong aptitude for research, analysis and a creative approach to defining and solving problems. Over time, Gates Cambridge Scholars will form an integral and dynamic part of the University's influential international alumni network, bringing vision and new ideas to improving the lives of citizens throughout the world. Cambridge alumni take the lead in applying knowledge and skill to major problems in every walk of life: Gates Cambridge Scholars are thus expected to use their education for the benefit of others and to improve the common weal. Gates Cambridge Scholarships are awarded only to students who gain admission to the University through the University's regular procedures. A Gates Cambridge Scholarship will cover: University Composition Fee and College fees at the appropriate1 rate a maintenance allowance for a single student (£8,800 for 12 months for 2006-07) a further discretionary allowance (£2,200 per year for 2006-07) one economy one-way airfare from the scholar's normal country of residence to the UK at the beginning of the course of study or research; and one economy one-way airfare from the UK to the scholar's normal country of residence at the end of the course of study or research. 1 The University Composition Fee varies for different types of students and applicants should see the Graduate Studies Prospectus for full details about precise amounts. Where an applicant from overseas has been successfully nominated for an ORS award, the University Composition Fee will be paid at the home rate. Where a student from the European Union has been successful in gaining a fees award from public authorities, the Trust will not pay these fees.

Scholarship

It is quite hard to get any kind of scholarship here in
Japan. You should apply for scholarships in your home country before leaving for
Japan. If you go to the nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate in your country,
you can get both information and an application form to apply for a
Monbukagakusho Scholarship, which the Japanese Government offers to
International students to study in Japan. (The University of Tokyo does not
distribute the application form for Monbukagakusho Scholarships.)

For
information about scholarships, please refer to Scholarship
Information.

The
University operates the University of Tokyo International Lodges (Shirokanedai
and Komaba), Mitaka International Students Hall, and Toshima International
Students Hall which provide lodging facilities for students and researchers from
abroad. The accommodations, however, are limited, and most students live in
dormitories of private foundations, or in apartments or rooming
houses.


4. Japanese Language Program

We offer Japanese
Language lessons, however basically it is very hard to get into the intensive
course if you are not a Monbukagakusho Scholarship Student. Please remember that
you are required to have advanced Japanese language ability to be accepted to
our department.

Please refer to Japanese
Language Lessons.
