Leave a comment

Application Deadline: January 15, 2024

LOCATION: USA

The African Studies Center is pleased to announce the Nnamdi Azikiwe International African Student Fellowship! The award honors former Nigerian President Nnamdi Azikiwe, a scholar and politician, who led Nigeria as its first civilian president and who invited MSU faculty to join him and other Nigerians to build a land-grant model university in Eastern Nigeria. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The African Studies Center recognizes that international African students studying at MSU have limited opportunities to apply for grants and fellowships to conduct research in Africa – usually reserved for citizens and permanent residents of the United States. For this reason,

Only African undergraduate or graduate students conducting research in Africa are eligible for this fellowship.

Applicants must be currently enrolled in an MSU degree-granting program, and awardees must return to MSU as registered students in the semester following the award. 

Priority will be given to students in good academic standing and with demonstrated financial need. 

Applicants must successfully complete any MSU requirements related to doing research abroad (IRB training for instance) 

Fellowship recipients must write and submit a report (3 to 5 pages) to the African Studies Center within one month of their return from Africa. 

BENEFIT:

One or more fellowships of up to $ 2,000 will be awarded for travel and/or fieldwork expenses in Africa. Funds are meant to defray costs, applicants should specify all other funding sources.

THE PETER CULLEN WATER & ENVIRONMENT TRUST PROGRAM

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 17 November 2024

LOCATION: Australia

The Peter Cullen Water & Environment Trust invites applications from people who are actively involved in water and environmental science, systems, advocacy, policy or management, to participate in our unique Leadership Program.

ELIGIBILITY:

Individuals working in the science, systems, advocacy, policy or management of water and the environment who are passionate about working with others to make a real difference in how our precious natural resources are managed, sustainably and equitably.

Demonstrated success in their current field of endeavour is important, but critical is the potential to take on or enhance their leadership role in the future.

Previous participants have been intentionally drawn from diverse backgrounds: whether a rural, regional or urban context; dealing with rivers, catchments, estuarine environments or groundwater; and engaged with, variously, water authorities, community groups, research, irrigation, non-government organisations, industry, consultants, government agencies and more.

The breadth of experience and the varied perspectives are an integral part of the development and learning opportunity. For those with the appetite and commitment, there will be the reward of the learning and bonds that come from confronting and conquering a challenge in company with a motivated cohort.

BENEFIT:

The Peter Cullen Trust offers a small number of scholarships to support outstanding individuals who would otherwise be unable to participate in a PCT Leadership Program.  For more information, go to our Scholarships page.
