FIBA PHOTO CONTEST 2025: BASKETBALL FOR GOOD

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 21st of November 2025

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

Basketball isn’t just about the final score; it’s about the moments in between.

The high-fives after a good play, the pep talks in the huddle, the shared laughs on the bench, the hand that pulls you up when you’re down, and the unbreakable bonds that form on and off the court.
The FIBA Photo Contest 2025 celebrates what makes a team more than just a group of players: it celebrates the Dream Team.
Whether it’s your childhood crew at the local court, a tight-knit school team, or your weekend warriors who’ve become family, we want to see the heart that beats behind the hustle.
Capture the spirit of teamwork, the strength of friendship, and the warmth of a family that plays together.

Show us what your Dream Team looks like.

BOREL GLOBAL FELLOWS PROGRAM AT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY’S COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND LIFE SCIENCES.

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: January 15, 2026

LOCATION: USA

The Borel Global Fellows Program supports students committed to enhancing African food security, agricultural development, and/or poverty alleviation to pursue graduate studies at Iowa State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The program seeks to help eradicate food and nutrition insecurity while promoting wealth and health for subsistence farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa by educating scientists at Iowa State University who will become knowledge leaders that reside and work in Sub-Saharan Africa.

ELIGIBILITY:

All faculty members with a majority appointment in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University may submit an application for partial graduate student funding. To be considered for the Borel Global Fellows Program, the student must:

be admitted into a graduate program in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

commit to completing graduate studies as a means for preparation of a career contributing to food security in Sub-Saharan Africa

complete the majority of their graduate research in Sub-Saharan Africa

demonstrate an intention to work and live in Sub-Saharan Africa after completing their graduate studies

A completed application will include a cover letter from the major professor, a CV of the student, and a copy of the student’s goal statement. Due date each year: January 15. Cover letters will address the commitment of the major professor to provide the remaining required funding (typically tuition, fees and research costs) and his/her commitment to support the student’s research in Sub-Saharan Africa. Applications are not accepted directly from graduate students. Applications may only be submitted by Iowa State University professors to request support for graduate students who have already been accepted into a graduate program in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. 

Iowa State University faculty interested in submitting an application can contact the Office for Global Engagement staff. 

BENEFIT:

Up to $25,000 per year per student of funding is available to support graduate student stipends (or a combination of a partial stipend and research funding) for up to 30 months for MS students and up to 42 months for PhD students. Funding for travel by the student to and from Africa for research purposes also is available.
