Oxford and Rhodes Scholarships
The Rhodes Scholarships are the oldest and most
celebrated international fellowship awards in the world. Each year 32 young
Americans are selected as Rhodes Scholars, through a decentralized process
representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Applicants from
more than 300 American colleges and universities have been selected as

supplied a successful applicant.
Rhodes Scholars are chosen not only for their
outstanding scholarly achievements, but for their character, commitment to
others and to the common good, and for their potential for leadership in
whatever domains their careers may lead. The Rhodes Trust, a British charity

The Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship
Kate Neal Kinley possessed a keen interest in music
and performance throughout her life. As a young woman growing up in Ohio,
she studied music, and at the University of Illinois helped to found the
Alpha Chi Omega sorority in 1899 and, served as an honorary member of the
Champaign Art Club. Upon her death in 1931, David Kinley created the Kate
Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship to promote advanced study in the fine arts.
This fellowship not only reflected President Kinleys earlier appointment as
Dean of the College of Literature and Arts, but more importantly,
acknowledged Mrs. Kinleys persistent dedication to the arts on the
University of Illinois campus. The first award was made in 1932. Its
continuance today is due to the Kinleys original gift and to the dedication
of family members. The Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship is partially
funded by the John Robert Gregg Fund at Community Funds, Inc., and The New
York Community Trust.

Travelers Summer Research Fellowship Program
The Travelers Summer Research Fellowship Program is
designed to give 25 premedical students deeper insights into the field of
medicine, including issues that greatly affect the health of traditionally
underserved groups. Through the experiences of laboratory or clinical
research, the student learns how one pursues a specific research problem
under the supervision of a faculty member, thus providing an early education
into basic research techniques that could be applicable to any area of
medicine. A lecture series explores topics in cardiovascular physiology,
exposing the students to basic science concepts that are relevant to a more
specific understanding of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, both of
which are major problems in minority communities. The summer fellows attend
a series of talks by minority physicians about various medical specialties,
addressing issues of concern in these physician's daily work plus views of
the bigger picture in health care to minority communities. Rounds in the
hospital with advanced year students provide further exposure to the
clinical facets of medicine. Students in the summer program receive
counseling on financial planning for medical school and how to examine the
financial aid package.
The Traveler's Summer Research Fellowship Program is directed by Dr. Carlyle
H. Miller, who is the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Equal
Opportunity Programs. Dr. Miller has been a member of the Medical College
faculty since 1980 and is an active member of the Admissions Committee.
Students receive a $140-a-week cost-of-living allowance and are housed rent
- free in the dormitory for medical students, but are required to pay for
their meals and other living expenses. Travel expenses are paid for students
that live some distance from New York.

Jane M. Klausman Women In Business Scholarship
Women have made great strides in the pursuit of
education, careers and leadership roles they were once denied; however,
today, women are still more likely to be pouring the coffee in global
boardrooms than sitting on the boards. In 2011, women held only 16.1% of the
board seats at Fortune 500 companies according to the 2011 Catalyst Census.
The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship program helps women
pursue undergraduate and master's degrees in business management and
overcome gender barriers from the classroom to the boardroom.
Since the program's inception, Zonta has awarded 314
scholarships to women from 44 countries.
Scholarship Description
Established in 1998 from a generous bequest by Jane M. Klausman, a member of
the Zonta Club of Syracuse, New York USA, and the 1990-1995 Zonta
International Parliamentarian, the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business
Scholarship is awarded annually to women pursuing undergraduate or master's
degrees in business management.
The program operates at the Zonta club, district and
international levels. Zonta clubs provide awards for club recipients. Zonta
International awards scholarships of US$1,000 each at the district level and
twelve international scholarships in the amount of US$7,000 each. The Jane
M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships are awarded annually and may be
used for tuition, books or living expenses at any university, college or
institution offering accredited business courses and degrees.

Rainbow
Business & Professional Association Scholarship Fund
To benefit deserving students by granting
scholarships to individuals enrolled in an accredited program and to enhance
self-esteem; to recognize and foster diversity; and to reward and support
sensitivity to human rights. To promote positive role models for gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals in the academic environment
and community at large.
The Rainbow Business & Professional Association Scholarship Fund, Inc. was
established in 1997. It was originally funded by a donation from Carolyn
Jalbert in memory of her partner, Donna Tennant, one of the founding members
of RBPA. Today we fund the annual scholarships from generous donations made
by RBPA members, sponsorships, contributors in the community throughout the
year, and through our annual RBPA Auction each December.
From the first award of $500 in 1998, the
Scholarship Fund has grown steadily, and in 2008 we granted two students
scholarships of $3,000 each. In 2005 we achieved another milestone by
attaining a long sought-after goal: the RBPA Scholarship Fund established an
endowment fund, with an initial investment of $10,000 and in 2007, we were
able to increase the endowment fund by another $10,000. We are proud to have
arrived at this goal, because it will enable scholarships to be awarded to
worthy students for years to come. It is a tribute to the support we receive
from the LGBT community and from our membership.

Smithsonian Institute Minority Awards
Program
The Office of Fellowships and Internships offers
internships and visiting student awards to increase participation of U.S.
minority groups (U.S. Citizens and U.S. permanent residents) who are
underrepresented in Smithsonian scholarly programs, in the disciplines of
research conducted at the Institution, and in the museum field.
This program is designed to provide undergraduate and beginning graduate
students the opportunity to learn more about the Smithsonian and their
academic fields through direct experience in research or museum-related
internship projects under the supervision of research and professional staff
members at the Institution's many museums, research institutes and offices.
Internships and Visiting Student appointments are full-time (40 hours per
week), for ten weeks during the summer, fall, or spring. Stipends are $550
per week, with additional travel allowances offered in some cases and a
small research allowance for Visiting Students.
Deadlines:
February 1 (for Summer and Fall)
October 1 (for Spring)
Qualifications:
Applicants should be currently engaged in undergraduate or graduate study,
and an overall G.P.A. of 3.0 or its equivalent generally is expected.
The relevance of an internship at the Smithsonian to the student's academic
and career goals will be an important part of the evaluation of an
applicant. Most successful candidates are students of the disciplines in
which the Smithsonian conducts research (listed above).
Applicants should note that it is not possible for the Office of Fellowships
to arrange an internship project or award a stipend to all qualified
candidates.

BMI Foundation Awards
BMIs formation provided an open
door to writers of all genres of music, many of whom had no prior access to
performing right representation. Formed in 1939 as a non-profit-making
performing right organization, BMI was the first to offer representation to
songwriters of blues, country, jazz, r&b, gospel, folk, Latin and,
ultimately, rock & roll. BMI was founded by radio executives to provide
competition in the field of performing rights, to assure royalty payments to
writers and publishers of music not represented by the existing performing
right organization and to provide an alternative source of licensing for all
music users. BMIs history coincides with one of the most vibrant, evolving
and challenging periods in music history. As popular music has moved from
big-band to rock & roll and hip-hop, and formats have evolved from 78 and 33
1/3-rpm vinyl records to compact discs, MP3s and beyond, BMI has worked on
behalf of its members to maintain a leadership position not only in the
United States, but worldwide. Underlying everything BMI does is its
philosophy: an open-door policy that welcomes songwriters, composers and
music publishers of all disciplines, and helps them develop both the
creative and business skills crucial to a career in music.

Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship
The Cité internationale universitaire de Paris was created in the years
immediately following the First World War as a means to promote peace
and understanding among students coming from all corners of the world to
pursue their studies in Paris. During the first phase of construction
which extended until 1937, 19 houses of different nationalities were
erected, along with the Maison Internationale, a generous gift from John
D. Rockeller Jr, housing several meeting halls and cultural and
administrative services.
The Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship is a private
grant awarded annually to up to four graduate and post-graduate American
students in the visual fine arts (painting, graphic design,
print-making, sculpture, photography) and music (composition,
instrumental or vocal performance). The scholarship is not intended for
research in art history, or musicology, nor for dance or theatre.
Successful candidates propose a unique and detailed project related to
their study which requires a one-year residency in Paris. As this
project should include enrolment in a recognized French art school or
music conservatory, it is strongly suggested that the candidate
establish a significant contact with a teacher or institution prior to
arriving in France and to show evidence of this contact in his/her
application dossier.

Travelers Summer Research Fellowship Program
The Travelers Summer Research Fellowship Program is
designed to give 25 premedical students deeper insights into the field of
medicine, including issues that greatly affect the health of traditionally
underserved groups. Through the experiences of laboratory or clinical
research, the student learns how one pursues a specific research problem
under the supervision of a faculty member, thus providing an early education
into basic research techniques that could be applicable to any area of
medicine. A lecture series explores topics in cardiovascular physiology,
exposing the students to basic science concepts that are relevant to a more
specific understanding of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, both of
which are major problems in minority communities. The summer fellows attend
a series of talks by minority physicians about various medical specialties,
addressing issues of concern in these physician's daily work plus views of
the bigger picture in health care to minority communities. Rounds in the
hospital with advanced year students provide further exposure to the
clinical facets of medicine. Students in the summer program receive
counseling on financial planning for medical school and how to examine the
financial aid package.
The Traveler's Summer Research Fellowship Program is directed by Dr. Carlyle
H. Miller, who is the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Equal
Opportunity Programs. Dr. Miller has been a member of the Medical College
faculty since 1980 and is an active member of the Admissions Committee.
Students receive a $140-a-week cost-of-living allowance and are housed rent
- free in the dormitory for medical students, but are required to pay for
their meals and other living expenses. Travel expenses are paid for students
that live some distance from New York.

Global Undergraduate Exchange
Program
The Global Undergraduate
Exchange Program in Eurasia and Central Asia builds the capacity of youth
leaders from underserved populations across the region. Through U.S.-based
training and practical experience in leadership, life-skills, civic
engagement, and internships, youth leaders are empowered to implement
long-term civic and economic changes in their communities, building
stability through increased local capacity and cross-cultural understanding.
The selected students study in non-degree programs
for one academic year at an American university or community college,
allowing them to develop a nuanced understanding of the United States and to
share their countries and cultures with America. When Global UGRAD students
return to finish college in their home countries, they share what they have
learned and contribute to the development of their home communities.
The Global UGRAD Program in Eurasia and Central Asia
is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S.
Department of State.

Joint Japan
World Bank
Graduate Scholarship Program
In 1987, the World Bank,
with funding from the Government of Japan, established the World Bank
Graduate Scholarship Program for graduate studies in subjects related to
economic development. Each
year, the Program awards scholarships to individuals from World Bank member
countries to undertake graduate studies at renowned universities throughout
member countries of the Bank.
Now in
its 25th year, the Regular Program has awarded 3,503 scholarships, selected
from 63,397 applicants. In addition, 1,380 scholarships have been awarded in
the various JJ/WBGSP Partnership Programs for a total of 4,883.
Since
the inception of the Program, the Government of Japan has provided over
193.16 million dollars to the Scholarship Program. The Program's objective
is to help create an international community of highly trained professionals
working in the field of economic and social development. The World Bank and
the Government of Japan require the scholars to return to their home
countries on completion of their study Programs and apply their enhanced
knowledge and skills to contribute to the development process in their
respective regions and communities.
Starting in 1992, a number of Partnership Programs have been launched,
largely to respond to the need for graduate study Programs which combine
academic rigor with specialized training in the practical aspects of
policy-making. The objective of these Programs is to prepare the
participants for effective policy-making roles in their home countries and
regions.
The
World Bank administers the Program through the World Bank Institute (WBI).
Policy guidance for the Program is provided by a Steering Committee
comprised of three Executive Directors and five senior managers of the Bank.
A Secretariat for day-to-day administration is maintained within WBI.

Organization of American States (OAS) Scholarships
The objective of the Organization of American States
(OAS) Scholarships and Training Programs is to assist the Member States with
their domestic efforts in pursuit of integral development goals by
supporting human resource development in the priority areas established by
the Summits of the Americas, the Strategic Plan for Partnership for Integral
Development of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI),
and the OAS General Assembly.
The OAS is committed to promoting and supporting
human capacity development and strengthening bonds among the peoples in the
Hemisphere by maximizing the number of scholarships awarded in reputable
educational institutions in its Member States with the resources available.
To achieve this goal, the OAS Scholarship Program will place more
scholarship recipients in universities that are members of the OAS
Consortium of Universities or with which the Department of Human
Development, Education and Culture (DHDEC) of the OAS will make written
agreements for the placement of students. Accordingly, the number of
scholarships which will be awarded to individuals who have obtained their
own admission to a university will continue to be limited.
Thus, applicants who elect the Self-placed
Scholarship option will have less opportunity to win an OAS scholarship.
The funds provided by the OAS/DHDEC are intended to serve as a complement to
those funds which the scholarship recipient may already be receiving from
other sources or to assist the recipient with general costs to make the
completion of her/his studies feasible.
