Publisher's Synopsis
Published by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, "International Awards" is a guide to funding opportunities for international students and researchers - those wishing to study abroad in a country other than their own. It provides information on sources available at undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels and will help those seeking funding to match their requirements with the award schemes offered by international, US and European sponsors, and also by many Commonwealth universities.;Almost half of the awards listed are truly international in scope and may be held anywhere in the world, or in a wide range of countries; the remainder are tenable in specific Commonwealth countries, for example, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK. While citizenship remains an important criterion, nearly 50 per cent of the schemes are open to students and researchers of any nationality and many are aimed at candidates from the developing and restructuring nations.;The 950 detailed entries are arranged in five study areas: general, arts and humanities, business and social sciences, health and medicine, and science and technology. For each award scheme, the comprehensive data covers: subject specialism, level of study, value, citizenship/residence requirements, location, eligibility criteria, and full contact information including email and website addresses.
