			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Norweigan Centre for International Cooperation in Higher Education<br />
Website: <a href="http://siu.no/en/Programme-overview/Quota-Scheme">www.siu.no</a><br />
Deadline:  1 December (every year)</strong></p>
<p><strong>PROGRAM DESCRIPTION</strong><br />
The goal of the Quota Scheme is to give students from developing countries in the South, Central- and East-Europe and Central-Asia, relevant education that would also benefit their home countries when they return after graduation.</p>
<p>The programme also contributes to strengthen Norwegian institutions of higher education&#8217;s participation in global knowledge cooperation.</p>
<p>The Norwegian government provides scholarships for students from developing countries in the South and countries of Central- and East-Europe and Central-Asia under the Quota Scheme. The overall objective of the Quota Scheme is to promote the internationalisation of higher education.</p>
<p><strong>WHO MAY APPLY</strong><br />
The Quota Scheme is for certain developing countries (like the Philippines) that are on the DAC-list issued by OECD, and is eligible for students from the category of “ lower middle-income countries” and under. Also, the scheme accepts students from Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and Palestinian students from the Palestinian Authorities.</p>
<p>The process of allocating quota places focuses on a purposeful distribution according to country, area of study and institution of higher education.</p>
<p><strong>REQUIREMENTS</strong><br />
The Norwegian universities and university colleges participating in the Quota Scheme have an English version of their website, where applicants can find more detailed information about the admission requirements for each course offered. Below are some general requirements.</p>
<p>Students usually apply for a degree course which is based on continuation of their studies in their home country, or a course which can be a joint part of a degree course in their home country ( joint degree or sandwich programmes). Most of the programmes are at the Master or Ph.D. level, but the Quota Scheme also offers certain professional studies.</p>
<p>Students must apply directly from their home country and must have stayed at least one year in their home country directly prior to the planned course of study at the Norwegian university/university college.</p>
<p>Basic general requirements<br />
All candidates should typically have the following basic qualifications:</p>
<p>Secondary school certificates<br />
Minimum two years of higher education from your home country</p>
<p>The Quota Scheme as a rule only enrols students from institutions which have collaboration agreements with Norwegian universities or university colleges. Norwegian institutions usually do not admit free movers (individual applicants) to this scheme. Only in very special cases can free movers be considered. Please contact the Norwegian institutions for individual information.</p>
<p>To find out which institutions collaborate with Norwegian institutions, please refer to the websites of the Norwegian institutions.</p>
<p>Students who come to Norway as self-financed students will, as a rule, not be considered as being qualified for the Quota Scheme.</p>
<p><strong>SCHOLARSHIPS</strong><br />
The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund ( Statens Lånekasse) is responsible for managing the financial support provided for the Quota students. Each student receives the same amount of money as a Norwegian student would do in an equivalent educational programme. About 30 per cent of the amount is given as a grant and 70 per cent as a loan. However, the loan portion is waived when the student returns to his/her home country after completing the course of study. Normally, the financial support will not not exceed a time span of four years for one definite study plan, or a combination of two programmes.</p>
<p>Additional financing<br />
Travelling expenses for entry into Norway can be reimbursed (fixed price). Students can apply for one annual home visit if the educational programme lasts more than one year, as well as financial support for travelling expenses for field work during the course of study. When the student returns home within 3 months after finishing the course, the cost of travelling home is covered by the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Open Society Fellowship<br />
Open Society Institute<br />
Proposals are accepted year round<br />
Applications received by January 8, 2010, will be evaluated by March 24, 2010.<br />
Applications received by April 28, 2010, will be evaluated by July 21, 2010.<br />
Website:  <a href="http://www.soros.org">www.soros.org</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>PROGRAM DESCRIPTION</strong><br />
The Open Society Fellowship supports individuals seeking innovative and unconventional approaches to fundamental open society challenges. The fellowship funds work that will enrich public understanding of those challenges and stimulate far-reaching and probing conversations within the Open Society Institute and in the world.</p>
<p>A fellowship project might identify a problem that has not previously been recognized, develop new policy ideas to address familiar problems, or offer a new advocacy strategy. Fellows should take advantage of the considerable intellectual and logistical resources of the Open Society Institute and expect to contribute meaningfully to OSI&#8217;s thinking in return.</p>
<p><strong>WHO MAY APPLY</strong><br />
The Open Society Fellowship chooses its fellows from a diverse pool of applicants that includes journalists, activists, academics, and practitioners in a variety of fields. Applicants should possess a deep understanding of their chosen subject area and a track record of professional accomplishment.</p>
<p>The fellowship seeks “idea entrepreneurs” from across the world who are ready to challenge conventional wisdom. Successful applicants will be eager to exploit the many resources offered by OSI and be prepared to engage constructively with the global OSI community. Ideal fellows are specialists who can see beyond the parochialisms of their field and possess the tenacity to complete a project of exceptional merit.</p>
<p><strong>REQUIREMENTS</strong><br />
All interested applicants should complete the online application form at https://oas.soros.org/oas and submit supporting materials for consideration. Please read the FAQs before applying. Applicants may submit a project proposal or other materials in a language other than English, as long as they also submit an English translation. Certified translations are strongly recommended.</p>
<p>Once the initial information has been entered, applicants receive login details and an ID number that allows them to make additions and revisions to the form until materials are submitted. The ID number should be quoted in any correspondence.</p>
<p>Applicants may mail their hard-copy materials to:</p>
<p>Open Society Fellowship<br />
Open Society Institute<br />
400 West 59th Street<br />
New York, NY 10019</p>
<p>Note: Only applicants without Internet access may send an application by post. A PDF application form can be downloaded below. All others must apply online.</p>
<p><strong>FELLOWSHIP SUPPORT</strong><br />
For a full-time fellow based in the U.S., the stipend ranges from $60,000 to $100,000. For fellows based in other countries, appropriate adjustments will be made to reflect the economic circumstances and costs of living in those countries. Stipends are based on several factors including work experience, seniority, prior earnings, and the proportion of time committed to the fellowship. The stipend does not necessarily equal the applicant&#8217;s current salary. In certain cases, fellows will receive additional financial support to enable them to meet the residency expectation.</p>
<p>In most cases, OSI provides fellows with communications support to convey their work to a broader audience and influence current debates. OSI also integrates fellows into its networks of individual and organizational partners and grantees.</p>
<p>OSI may cover additional project expenses such as travel (including airfare and hotel), visa costs, part-time research assistance, conference fees and health insurance. Fellowship expenses should not include operational or programmatic costs, such as employees and physical infrastructure. The purpose of the fellowship is to support individual fellows; therefore OSI will only cover individual expenses.</p>
<p>The fellowship does not fund enrollment for degree or non-degree study at academic institutions, including dissertation research.</p>
