Via the always-useful Education USA Weekly Update, here are some MORE scholarships that are available. These deal with much more specific audiences (Fulbright alumni and students interested in the “critical” languages).

Remember also what I said yesterday:

that Education USA and their advising centers are a unique resource for international students.  If you haven’t been to one,  use this center locator and see if there’s one near you.  I learned of all of these scholarships through Education USA, for example, and you can learn about these and more at a local advising center.

Now, on with the scholarship info:

SCHOLARSHIP FOR FULBRIGHT SCHOLARS AT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY MORITZ COLLEGE OF LAW

The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law’s LL.M. program is pleased to announce a new scholarship initiative for Fulbright Scholars. Fulbright Scholars who are admitted to the LL.M. program will be granted partial tuition waivers reducing their tuition costs to in-state tuition levels (i.e., approximate value of $15,000 USD for the 2009-2010 academic year).

The Moritz College of Law is part of the largest university in the United States: The Ohio State University. The Ohio State University is located in Columbus, Ohio – the state capital and 15th largest city in the United States. Columbus is home to federal and state government and vibrant legal and business communities. Columbus is easy to navigate, but offers big-city amenities like art galleries, professional sporting events, theater, and great restaurants. Columbus is centrally located, making it an easy flight or drive to many other major U.S. cities.

There are nearly 4,000 international students at Ohio State, hailing from 107 countries. More than 1,600 international scholars visit campus each year. The Moritz LL.M. Program is limited to just 25 students, which allows us to provide personal attention. The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law LL.M. Program: World-class education, small-town feel.

KATHRYN DAVIS FELLOWSHIPS FOR PEACE: 30 FULL-TUITION FELLOWSHIPS TO STUDY CRITICAL LANGUAGES SUMMER 2010

Deadline to apply, February 1, 2010

The Monterey Institute of International Studies is pleased to announce up to 30 full fellowships—including tuition, room, board and books to attend Middlebury Language Schools, June – August 2010. These fellowships link two affiliated institutions known internationally for language and international study: the Monterey Institute and Middlebury College. To be eligible for fellowships, candidates must be admitted to a degree program in international policy, international business, or teaching foreign language, for Fall 2010.

In the fourth year of this program, these fellowships are made possible by a $1 million gift from Kathryn Davis to address today’s critical need for more effective language proficiency. The award covers the cost of tuition, room and board to attend the Middlebury summer Language Schools. Fellowship recipients will study Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or Russian through the Language Schools’ signature immersion model: “No English Spoken Here.” This intense study, equivalent to a full year of college-level language learning, will allow students to enhance language skills to meet enrollment prerequisites at the Monterey Institute for Fall 2010.

“Fellowships for Peace” recipients will be chosen on the basis of academic credentials, experience, and commitment to building a more peaceful world.
