The Fellowship is available only to those students who plan but have not yet begun to pursue graduate study towards a doctoral degree in the humanities.

They will rely solely on the student's ability to describe the effort in writing, supplemented by recommendations from the nominating professor and up to three other persons of the nominee's choice.

Apply Fall term senior year or after. Internal application deadline in early September. Applicants must have institutional endorsement through Emory College. Contact Dean Joanne Brzinski at poljb@emory.edu or call 404-727-6160. The Marshall Scholarships were established by the British government in 1953 to express gratitude for the European Recovery Program, instituted by General George C. Marshall in 1947 when he served as a U.S. Secretary of State. Up to 40 scholarships are offered each year, four for each of five regions of the United States, and the remainder at large. The Scholarships pay all tuition and fees plus a personal allowance which totals approximately 20,000 pounds per year. They are tenable for two years and can, occasionally, be renewed for a third year. Men and women may use the scholarship for study at any university (not only Oxford and Cambridge) in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Eligibility: Candidates must be citizens of the U.S.A. Candidates must hold a first degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the U.S. Finally, candidates must have graduated from their undergraduate college or university after April 2002 in order to apply for a Marshall Scholarship that will be awarded in 2005. (This restriction may be waived in the case of candidates wishing to read business studies or an allied subject).

Criteria for Selection: The qualifications for a Marshall Scholarship are much like those for a Rhodes Scholarship. Distinction of intellect and character as evidenced by scholarly attainments and by other activities and interests is a prime requisite. Special emphasis is given to the applicant's academic record; there is a minimum academic qualification of an A- average (3.7). Applicants should have a clear idea of what and why they want to study in the United Kingdom as well as where they would like to study. Furthermore, they should be able to demonstrate a commitment to this course of study and to the goals of the Marshall Scholarship. Candidates may apply in either the region in which they have permanent residency or in the southern region. The Emory Marshall Committee reserves the right to determine the region through which the applicant will apply.

Application Procedure: Students applying for a Marshall Scholarship should submit a completed application by the September deadline. Please access the Marshall online application via the Marshall Scholarship website. Every student submitting a completed application by the deadline will have an interview with the Campus Marshall Committee. The Marshall competition begins on the Emory campus. Endorsement is not automatic. The Emory Committee makes a judgment based on written application materials and a personal interview, whether each applicant meets the criteria or not.

If Emory University selects you for nomination, all of your application materials must be submitted by the Emory College Office to the Marshall Foundation. To have your application approved by Emory, you must complete and submit your application to Dean Brzinski's Officeturn in all materials by the campus deadline in September. Your recommenders should send forms to Emory College by the September deadline. Do not have your recommendations sent separately by your faculty recommenders to the Marshall Foundation.

Sometime in late November or early December the selection boards, situated in British Consulates in each of the eight regions throughout the United States, select applicants for interviews, with the interviews for the scholarships themselves being held some time in December. These interviews are held sequentially so that at least one representative from the Marshall Commission can see every candidate. Winners are announced in late winter. Additional information may be found at Marshall Scholarships.

Please confirm application process with Dean Joanne Brzinski at poljb@emory.edu or call 404-727-6160.

David L. Boren Graduate Fellowship . 0 available @ USD 0

The David L. Boren Fellowship is administered by the National Security Education Program (NSEP).

One component of NSEP is the David L. Boren Fellowship. The minimum period of support is one academic semester. The maximum level of support for a combined overseas and domestic program is $30,000 over 24 months. Actual support levels will be determined by each individual project budget and the length of the project. No fellowship, whether overseas only, domestic only, or combined, may exceed a total of two academic years.

The fellowship also requires a service agreement with a government agency or office of national security that is approximately equal to the period of time an award recipient is supported by the program, but usually not less than one year. The service agreement provides a wonderful opportunity to enhance your ability to gain federal employment in eligible US government agencies. Primary selection factors are based on academic excellence, submission of a workable proposal, intent to develop and/or advance non-native language competence, ability to adapt to different cultures, and the integration of your proposal into your academic field and career goals. Apply online or call 1-800-618-NSEP to request an application. Scholarships are also available to undergraduate students for study abroad. Contact CIPA at 404-727-2240 for study abroad information.

Luce Scholars Program . 18 available @ USD 0

Must be Senior or Graduate Student. Applicants must have institutional endorsement through Emory College. Contact Dean Joanne Brzinski at poljb@emory.edu or call 404-727-6160.

The Luce Scholars program is a major effort by the Henry Luce Foundation to create a new awareness of Asia among future leaders of American society. This scholarship involves a work experience rather than an academic placement.

Launched in 1974, the Luce Scholars Program is aimed at a highly qualified group of young Americans from a variety of professional backgrounds. It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended for young leaders who have had no prior experience of Asia and who might not otherwise have an opportunity to come to know Asia or their Asian colleagues and contemporaries. Applications cannot be considered from those who already have had significant exposure to Asian culture or who have a specific career interest in Asian affairs.

The annual selection of eighteen Luce Scholars is an unusually rigorous process. Each candidate must first be nominated by one of the colleges or universities participating in the program. Each institution annually submits to the Luce Foundation three nominees from among their graduating seniors, graduate and professional school students, and recent alumni, and junior faculty.

To be eligible for the Luce Scholar program, a candidate must be an American citizen who has earned at least a bachelor's degree. Candidates must be in good health and no more than 29 years of age on September 1 of the year they would enter the program. Candidates should have a record of the highest academic achievement combined with evidence of outstanding leadership ability. Nominees must be in good physical and emotional health. More important than any other criterion is a mature and clearly defined career interest in a specific field. Candidates must give evidence of potential for professional accomplishment in that field. Personal characteristics that typify successful candidates include creativity, initiative, self-confidence, breadth of interest, enthusiasm, and sensitivity. Since the program is geared to the non-specialist, prior knowledge of an Asian language is not a selection criterion.

For nomination by Emory, a student must submit in November a completed application with letters of recommendation. Institutional nomination is the sole route to consideration; applications submitted directly to the Foundation are not accepted. The Emory Campus Selection Committee will interview candidates in November. Emory may nominate up to three candidates.
