[USA] CCIE Scholarship
The Scholar Ship is committed to ensuring its student body and staff are as diverse as possible. To make certain it achieves the socio-economic and geographic objectives of its student diversity goals, it has established a generous scholarship fund to help make this opportunity a reality for everyone.
Through CCIE, The Scholar Ship is awarding scholarships of up to $ 5,000 for the September inaugural voyage of The Scholar Ship and similar scholarships for the January 2008 voyage exclusively to students from CCIE Member colleges. There may be opportunities for even larger scholarships for students who display financial need. Each CCIE member institution, which is current with their dues, is asked to nominate or refer student candidates from their colleges.
Scholarships will be awarded to students with a demonstrated record of academic achievement and community leadership. Interested students meeting this criteria may complete a Letter of Interest and essay, describing how their participation onboard The Scholar Ship will be of benefit to them and prepare them for their future career.
Deadlines for Grant Applications (Letter of Interest):
Voyage Deadline September 2007 - Mary 14, 2007
January 2008 - October 15, 2007
About The Scholar Ship:
The Scholar Ship is a semester-long academic program aboard a dedicated passenger ship that traverses the globe as an oceangoing campus. Students and staff from around the world come together to form a transnational learning community designed to develop their intercultural competence and leadership skills.
The Scholar Ship is an international education initiative developed in collaboration with seven international universities and a host of multinational organizations. The program’s Consortium of Academic Stewards collaborates on the quality oversight and accreditation of all academic offerings and standards. Academic programs offered by The Scholar Ship meet the same quality standards as those on the campuses of the Consortium’s member institutions: Al Akhawayn University (Morocco), Cardiff University (UK), Fudan University (China), Macquarie University (Australia), Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), University of California, Berkeley (USA), and University of Ghana (Ghana).
How to Apply:
Interested students who meet the scholarship requirements may complete a Letter of Interest and essay, describing how their participation onboard The Scholar Ship will be of benefit to them and prepare them for their future career. Each award will be contingent on the student’s admittance to The Scholar Ship program. Students with financial need should indicate that in their letters as well.
