Commonwealth Scholarships 2010 - 2011

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, CULTURE, YOUTH AND SPORT
COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIPS 2010 - 2011
United Kingdom



Under the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan, the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom is inviting Malta to nominate a number of candidates who are interested to pursue:

• 12 – 36 months of either a full time taught or a doctoral post graduate qualification;

• 12 months’ non-degree study in the UK on a Split-Site basis to aid the completion of a doctoral degree undertaken at a University in the home country.

1. Among the conditions emphasised by the United Kingdom Scholarship Commission, candidates should:

a. hold, by 1st October 2010, a first degree of upper second class Honours standard (or above) or a second class degree and a relevant postgraduate qualification, which will normally be a Master’s degree

b. be available to commence their academic studies in the United Kingdom by the start of the U.K. academic year in September / October 2010.



2. Awards are tenable at UK participating institutions, which can be viewed on the website below. Candidates are expected to state their preferred institution on the application form, but the final decision on host institution will be made by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom. In recent years, placement of successful candidates has sometimes been delayed by the process of gaining admission to their host university. For this reason, it is strongly advisable that candidates submit independent applications directly to their preferred institutions. Where offers of admission have been obtained, these should be included with the application.

3. The commission will not offer awards to scholars close to completing a doctorate in their home country, though awards may be tenable to complete doctoral studies already underway in their home country or in the U.K.

4. Each applicant must submit 6 complete applications, accompanied by:

a. six copies (1 original and 5 copies) of the University / College transcript(s) and certificate(s), certified by the awarding body

b. one certified copy of birth certificate attached to the first (original) application

c. certificate of English language proficiency

d. six copies (1 original and 5 copies) of University Admission Letter

e. six copies (1 original and 5 copies) of Letter of Acceptance from UK supervisor (for Split-Site applicants).

5. Applications submitted without the complete documentation will not be eligible for consideration.

6. All awards must be tenable on a full-time basis.

The main selection criteria are the academic merit of the candidate, the quality of proposal and the potential of the candidate to lead in the pursuit of global excellence in research and knowledge.

Candidates nominated by Malta are not in any way guaranteed selection or placement.

Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society



The Rolex Scholarship

Currently there are three Rolex Scholarships: North America, Europe, and Australasia. Each Rolex Scholarship provides a hands-on introduction to underwater and other aquatic-related endeavors for a young person considering a career in an underwater-related discipline. One scholar is selected from each of the three regions and each scholar spends approximately one year working side by side with current leaders in underwater fields. Each scholar travels primarily within his or her region, but may have opportunities throughout the underwater world. The range of experiences may include active participation in field studies, underwater research, scientific expeditions, laboratory assignments, equipment testing and design, photographic instruction, and other specialized assignments.

Scholars pursue activities in their chosen disciplines during the one-year period between Our World Underwater Scholarship Society’s annual spring meetings. Experiences may last from a few days to over a month. At the conclusion of each experience, the scholar moves on to another, so the scholarship year involves extensive travel. The scholar is literally on the road from spring-to-spring with very little time at a home base. Scholars spend most of the year with the society's friends, hosts, and coordinators around the world. The experiences vary from year to year depending upon the scholar's interests and the availability of expeditions and hosts' opportunities. These experiences make up the real heart of the scholarship. The opportunity to join a host's daily activities exposes the scholar to the realities of the host's special pursuits.

Each of the three Rolex Scholarships has a coordinator who organizes itineraries for his or her scholar - emphasizing breadth of experience, but tailoring the itenerary to the individual scholar’s background and interests. These itineraries include time with specialists in such areas as biology, hyperbarics, anthropology, and archaeology. Scholar hosts include scientists, engineers, filmmakers, and marine mammal researchers. Visits to dive store operations, classes in underwater photography, and working with conservation organizations are also typical experiences.

These experiences provide the scholars with a broad overview of careers in the underwater world. Scholars may spend varying lengths of time investigating:

•Science
•Publishing
•Medicine
•Manufacturing
•Photography
•Education
•Management
•Expeditions
•Government
•Tourism
•Commercial and Research Diving
•Ecological Activism
The global underwater community sees the selected North American, European, and Australasian scholars as individuals with the potential to make significant contributions to the underwater world even though they may not have yet chosen a specific career path. During the course of the year, exposure to a wide array of types of work and the chance to actually jump in and experience specific jobs provides scholars with invaluable career-deciding opportunities.

The scholarship emphasizes hands-on experience in activities that will contribute to a well-rounded education and a broad network of contacts.

Cambridge Scholarships







Cambridge European Trust
European Vacation Scholarships
The Cambridge European Trust offers scholarships towards the cost of academically valuable activities undertaken by Cambridge students in European countries (not confined to the EU). (Activities in the UK, such as attendance at a non-English intensive language course, will be considered for support only if the applicant can demonstrate that the equivalent activity in a European country outside the UK is not possible.)


Aims of the Scholarships
The aim is to encourage Cambridge students to improve their knowledge of the history, languages, culture, politics, and styles of teaching and of research organization, of other European countries.

Eligible activities
Activities may be related or unrelated to the applicant's Cambridge degree subject. Purposes such as attendance at summer schools offered by European universities, profound courses in languages for non-linguists, and scientific work in European laboratories could be supported.

Ineligible activities
The Scholarships will not fund:

■Attendance at academic conferences, seminars or meetings which, although they may happen to take place in another European country, are not likely to improve participants' awareness of the host country
■Presenting research papers at conferences
■Medical electives and equivalent
■Vacation courses and field trips organised by Cambridge Faculties and Departments
Eligible applicants
■Students at any level of study (undergraduate, taught postgraduate or research postgraduate) may apply
■Undergraduates who are graduating in the year of application may apply, provided they are continuing to postgraduate study in Cambridge
■Students of languages may not apply for intensive language tuition in their language of study (but may apply for cultural visits to a country whose language they are studying)
Given the aim of the Scholarships, it will be clear that certain applicants and activities will have priority for funding. For example: an NST student is more likely to be funded for a language course than an MML student (because the MML student is likely to have already acquired a greater degree of cultural awareness); discretionary, 'added-value' research visits are more likely to be funded than research which is part and parcel of a graduate student's normal programme of research; and a French national is more likely than a German national to be funded to undertake an activity in Germany. Such prioritising is necessary because - particularly in the Easter and Long Vacations - the number of applicants, and the amount sought, greatly exceeds the Trust's capacity to make awards.

Amount of award
The value of awards will be determined according to the cost of the activity and the other resources available to the applicant, but most awards are expected to be of £250.

Reporting
Those offered an award are be expected to submit a short written report on their return.

Deadlines
The application form should be returned by the dates below to the Secretary, Cambridge European Trust Vacation Scholarships, The International Office, 9 Jesus Lane, Cambridge, CB5 8BA. Decisions will be made as soon as possible thereafter.
