Xiamen University has announced the availability of several scholarships for new international students. These awards, founded in 2006, help fund international students who wish to study in degree programs abroad. All scholarship recipients will receive full payment of their tuition and fees, as well as select monthly living allowances. These are offered in compliance with the standards of Chinese Government Scholarships.

To be eligible for the awards, candidates should be non-Chinese citizens in good health who are able to travel for the duration of their studies. They should meet certain educational standards and age limits as of September 1, 2021.

Candidates for scholarships funding Bachelor’s degrees should hold high school diplomas or higher and be younger than the age of 25. Individuals seeking master’s degrees should hold a Bachelor’s degree or higher and be younger than the age of 40. Those who wish to apply for doctoral degree programs must be under the age of 45 and have a master’s degree or higher.
Applicants who are applying to Chinese-medium or English-medium degree programs may apply. Details on the specifics of the programs are available on the university’s website.

Candidates who are seeking Bachelor’s degrees may be eligible to receive funding for four or five years, while those enrolled in doctoral degree programs may receive four years of funding. Candidates in master’s degree programs can apply for two or three years of aid. While award recipients are eligible for multiple years of funding, it should be noted that their performance will be re-assessed on an annual basis and only candidates who have met required standards will be eligible for scholarship renewal.

There are five awards available for undergraduate study, eleven for master’s degree programs, and eight for doctoral degrees. Within those divisions, there are also various scholarship categories, with some providing only tuition with others offering tuition, fees, and even living allowance to a small amount of students.

To be eligible for undergraduate admission candidates must possess a regular passport and be able to travel. Required documents include a basic application form for international students, as well as a high school diploma or certificate of expected graduation bearing the stamp of the school. Academic transcripts must also be supplied.

Test scores of national college matriculation examinations, such as the SAT or ACT, must be submitted by the appropriate deadline. Proof of Chinese language or English language proficiency is also required. Candidates must also submit self-introduction video clips, letters of recommendation, and personal statements, as well as valid scanned copies of their passports.

All application materials are due no later than April 15, 2021. Candidates should apply online at http://application.xmu.edu.cn. Final recipients will be notified in July 2021. Questions can be directed to the Admissions Office at Xiamen University at admissions@xmu. edu.cn.

Candidates with profound leadership experience, exceptional professional backgrounds, and outstanding ambition are encouraged to apply for a master’s degree in Sweden via a fully-funded Swedish Institute scholarship.

These awards are for master’s studies starting in the fall semester of 2022, with applications opening on February 10, 2022. 180 awards will likely be granted, with recipients beginning their studies in October 2022. Usually about one to two percent of all applicants are awarded a scholarship.

This award covers tuition fees paid directly to the Swedish university of choice, as well as living expenses of up to SEK 9,000 per month. A travel grant of 15,000 SEK is also provided, as is comprehensive insurance against illness and accident. All award recipients also receive membership to two professional organizations: the SI Network for Future Global Leaders and the SI Alumni Network.

The SI Network for Future Global Leaders is an organization in which students can grow their personal and professional networks while studying in Sweden, while the SI Alumni Network assists students after their scholarship period, helping them gain professional entry and development opportunities, as well as to stay in touch with past program participants.

The scholarship does not cover the costs of the application fee to University Admissions, nor does it cover additional expenses for family members. The award spans full-time study for one- or two-year master’s programs, and is only awarded starting in the fall semester. It is granted for two semesters at a time, but can be extended for programs longer than two semesters as long as the student has made satisfactory progress toward his or her credits.

To be eligible, candidates must have at least 3,000 hours of demonstrated full- or part-time employment, internship, or voluntary work experience. Demonstrated leadership experience and evidence of citizenship from an eligible country are also required. Applicants are expected to pay admissions fees to the university, and may be required to meet other eligibility criteria as well.

To apply, interested candidates should submit a motivation letter and a Curriculum Vitae of no more than three pages. Two letters of reference, proof of work and leadership experience, and a copy of the applicant’s passport must also be supplied. All materials should be submitted during the February application period, as competition is fierce and late materials will not be accepted.

Each year, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, in partnership with the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University, offers the Holland Scholarship. This scholarship is designed for international students who hail from areas outside of the European Economic area and who are interested in beginning their undergraduate or graduate studies at the Rotterdam School of Management.

This award provides successful candidates with up to € 5,000 for twelve months. It is awarded in the first year of study, and is paid via two separate installments – but only after the full tuition fee amount has been paid. This is usually sometime between November and February.

To apply, candidates must be from areas outside of the European Economic Area and be prospective students who are beginning their studies in 2019-2020. Candidates must be applying for full-time bachelor’s or master’s programs and must meet the specific requirements of the program they are applying for. Candidates must also not have degrees from educational institutions in the Netherlands (this excludes students who participated in exchange programs in the Netherlands).

The award is designed to be distributed throughout multiple programs, allowing for great diversity in distribution. Some preference may be given to applicants for certain programs to ensure a certain distribution and equality.
To apply, candidates must prove their excellence in prior education. This should be done by proving a GPA that is the equivalent of a Dutch grade of 8.0 on the Dutch grading scale 1-10. For students who have already attended some post-secondary education, those grades must be supplied in addition to secondary scores. Students who are recipients of other scholarships exceeding the amount of this award may not apply.

Recipients of the award agree to assist the Recruitment and Admissions Office by committing to eight hours per month of work during the academic year. Recipients also agree to begin their visa procedures before June 2019.
To begin the application process, interested candidates should register for the Bachelor International Business Administration program in Studielink. A link to the online application form will then be forwarded. Candidates should submit a scholarship application letter, an explanation of why they would need a scholarship (in other words, a description of the candidate’s current financial situation), an explanation of why the scholarship is deserved, a clear financial plan for years two and three, and certified copies of other scholarships granted.
All materials must be submitted no later than January 31 2019. Award recipients will be determined by April 15 2019.

The University of Cambridge invites talented designers to apply for one of three Design Fellowships in the Department of Architecture. These fellowships are available for 12 months, running from October 1, 2018 until September 30, 2019 and are renewable annually.

The fellowships are part-time, funding roughly 26% of full-time hours per week. The posts are offered so that candidates may teach architectural design on the three-year undergraduate BA course, Architecture Tripos. This course leads to RIBA/ARB Part I qualification.

The three fellowships available have slightly different roles and conditions. The first fellowship is to teach in a Second Year Studio with an existing, more experienced fellow. The position is rotating and can be renewed under some conditions. Two other fellowships are limited to a fixed term of one year to provide coverage during the absence of other staff members.

Each fellow will be part of a team of sixteen studio teachers who teach undergraduate architecture courses. Fellows will develop and deliver weekly group tutorials and one-on-one supervisions, and also help to develop studio projects in conjunction with the undergraduate Studio Teaching Coordinator and Year Coordinators.

Applications are expected to have a first degree or equivalent in Architecture, Engineering, or similar discipline. They should also have exemption from Part I of the Royal Institute of British Architects or equivalent examinations, along with a postgraduate Diploma. Candidates should either have a qualification carrying exemption from Part II of the RIBA examinations or a MSc, MArch, or MPhil. Successful applicants will be qualified, registered architects who have experience and current employment as practice-based architects.

Selected fellows will work in central Cambridge. Applicants should log on to the University of Cambridge Web Recruitment System, where they may create an account and fill out an online application form. A cover letter, Curriculum Vitae, and list of references must also be supplied. Portfolios should be no longer than thirty pages.
