The Robinson Scholarship
Eddie Robinson took the MA (as it then was) in Operational Research in 1971-72. After leaving Lancaster he has had a successful career in the United States with Mars Inc. He has generously sponsored a scholarship for an MSc student from a developing country, as defined in the World Development Report published by the World Bank. Eddie comments “I benefited personally from the presence of overseas students on the course, as I know they did from the experiences they gained.” For 2007 entry this scholarship will be £3800.
Applications for this scholarship may be made by using the application form for the Peel scholarships, found at http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/studentsupport/download/forms/index.itm. Completed application forms should be sent directly to Graham Rand, the MSc Admissions Tutor, by the 1st of May. (Applicants may also apply for the Peel scholarship).
As the scholarship will not cover all the costs of a course here at Lancaster, applicants should explain carefully their financial circumstances. This explanation should cover two aspects. Firstly, why is it that you need funding? Secondly, how will you finance the rest of the cost of your stay in Lancaster?
The successful candidate will be informed by 1st June, and will be required to pay a deposit of £1000 by 1st July.

Berkeley will grant paid maternity leave to women doctoral students
Berkeley is again 'on the cutting edge' of family-friendly benefits with this new policy, of special interest to an aging grad-student cohort
By Cathy Cockrell, Public Affairs | 07 March 2007
Women doctoral students at Berkeley who hold fellowships or academic appointments as graduate-student instructors or researchers will soon be eligible for six weeks' paid maternity leave under a childbirth-accommodation provision passed March 5 by the Graduate Council. The policy, which takes effect in fall 2007, builds on the campus's suite of family-accommodation measures for faculty — such as teaching-duty relief and tenure-clock stoppage for faculty parents of young children — by "pushing it down to the doctoral-student level," says Graduate Dean Mary Ann Mason.
Women Scientists' Changing Career Goals
The attrition of women from the academic pipeline, largely due to the competing demands of family and academic life, is well-documented by national and local studies. An 18-page Web survey of doctoral students (in their second year and beyond), conducted at Berkeley last fall by Mason and her longtime research collaborator, Marc Goulden, confirms these patterns. The survey looked at doctoral students' attitudes toward future careers and life issues and their satisfaction with their current degree program, with special attention to issues affecting doctoral-student parents. Of the 4,201 surveyed, 2,111 (50 percent) responded.
When entering their Ph.D. program, 46 percent of women reported wanting to pursue a career at a research university, and another 27 percent wanted positions at teaching universities. But after the first year of doctoral studies, many had changed their minds: Only 31 percent of women remained interested in a research career. "A main reason is a perceived inability to balance career and family," Mason explains. Asked to state the reasons they shifted their career goal away from "professor with research emphasis," 42 percent of women respondents (and 16 percent of men) cited issues related to children as a "very important" factor. A change of plans in light of the demands of academic life is especially pronounced in the physical sciences.
In response to another survey question, 58 percent of female and 47 percent of male doctoral students expressed dissatisfaction with their ability to balance the demands of career and life at Berkeley. This represents a general dissatisfaction among all students, not just those with children.
For student parents, achieving balance is particularly challenging. The survey found that about 12 percent of current Berkeley doctoral students, male and female, have had babies. The time they devote to studies, employment, housework, and caregiving each week — totaling more than 100 hours for women with children and more than 90 for men with children — closely mirrors the patterns reported by faculty members with children.
Family-accommodation policies for doctoral students become increasingly important, says Mason, as the graduate-student population ages. In 2005 the average age nationally for completing a Ph.D. was 33, up several years from where that benchmark stood in the mid-'80s. "The whole clock has been pushed forward," she says, "and graduate students ever more frequently are in their prime childbearing years — their late 20s, early 30s — while pursuing their degrees, so they start to really think about issues involved with forming a family."
A one-stop resource for the campus community
All UC affiliates are invited to subscribe to "UC Families," a free online resource for students, faculty, and staff who are balancing academic goals or careers with family life. Subscribers can post questions or engage in discussions on such topics as managing work and family responsibilities, planning the optimal time to start a family, finding advice on progressing academically as a student parent, returning to academia after having a baby, or advocating for flexible work arrangements.
The newsletter's website (parents.berkeley.edu/ucfamilies) links to family resources on UC campuses, UC-wide policy and benefits information, and archives of advice and discussions.
Doctoral candidate Chrysanthi Leon is one such student. She credits Berkeley's family-related accommodations and services — student-family housing, university childcare, and a grant that rewards meeting time-to-degree norms — with making it possible for her to complete her program in jurisprudence and social policy (she graduates this spring).
"I wish I had also been able to benefit from paid maternity leave," she says. "This is a wonderful accomplishment. I will push for similar accommodations for grad students in my new position as an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Delaware."
Mason notes that only a handful of universities across the country offer paid pregnancy leave for doctoral students — "so we're still on the cutting edge."
Under the new policy passed by the Academic Senate's Graduate Council and approved by Chancellor Birgeneau, a doctoral student who works as a GSI or GSR or who is supported by a fellowship will experience no change in her funding arrangements during the six-week childbearing leave. The new policy states that "those supported by fellowships external to UC must adhere to the rules of the granting agency in regard to leaves from work. If the granting agency defers to university policy regarding paid childbirth leave, the six-week leave will be paid by the grant. If the granting agency requires suspension of payment during the six-week period, the student will be eligible for substitute payment from the Childbirth Accommodation Fund."
The expectant mother may also opt to continue to work in a modified capacity during her leave, but is not required to do so. The six-week leave can be taken before or after a child's birth. Stipends for temporary hires to replace graduate-student instructors or researchers, when such funding is needed, may be charged to the campus's Childbirth Accommodation Fund upon Graduate Division approval.
A copy of the new policy — along with other policies applicable to doctoral-student parents — is online. A summary of Mason and Goulden's research on the academic pipeline and initiatives to make the academy more family- friendly is at ucfamilyedge.berkeley.edu.

Postgraduate Programmes at European School of Economics
The postgraduate programmes at ESE are aimed at individuals. A leader is first of the manager of himself; you can not lead others if you don`t govern yourself first. ESE believes in entrepreneurial education, once you define your dream, your purpose, you will approach the programme in a different way.
You will approach the management and leadership modules offered at ESE with a different vision, and we will personalise your Study Plan to direct you towards your professional dream.
Once you have defined your personal dream, you will loose your attachment to your "professional role" too, and will have a broader vision in your decisions, a sense of putting things in proportion, necessary for a global vision and effective communication as well as management decisions in cross-cultural markets.
When you do your internship with the ESE programme, you will notice that organisations too, have mission statements. When you are seeking a job after you graduate, you will do well to choose and apply to companies and organizations that have the same goals as yours, as emotional involvement in a company means that you will give it your total energy and commitment.
The end result of this educational approach is that our students employment opportunities are enhanced upon graduation, receiving job offers from the same companies often where they carry out their internship programme.
GORDON BETHUNE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, NEW YORK:
The European School of Economics has honored former Continental Airlines Chairman and CEO, Gordon Bethune, with the naming of the School’s U.S. centre in New York.
A dinner celebrating this partnership took place on October 3rd, 2006 at the Petroleum Club, located in Houston, Texas. The School’s Chancellor, Stefano D’Anna, students and faculty, along with Continental leadership, local and national government officials, attended the event.
Gordon Bethune says:
"The European School of Economics is honoring me by naming its U.S. graduate school the Gordon Bethune School of Business.
Educating future business leaders in the same model and philosophy that I used on employees to turn Continental into one of the world’s largest and best airlines will be the School’s core mission.
By pairing his winning value and belief system with the School’s rugged academic program, the Gordon Bethune School of Business will graduate some of the best and brightest future business leaders in the world – forever changing the way in which businesses are run".

National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program
The purpose of the NHSC LRP is to ensure an adequate supply of health professionals to provide primary health services (through a culturally competent, interdisciplinary team of clinicians) to populations located in selected health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) identified by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
HPSAs can be found in rural and urban communities across the Nation. The NHSC LRP recruits fully trained health professionals who agree to provide primary health services in NHSC community sites. In return, the NHSC LRP assists clinicians in their repayment of qualifying educational loans that are still owed.
The NHSC is seeking clinicians that demonstrate the characteristics for and interest in serving the Nation�s medically underserved populations and remaining in HPSAs beyond their service commitment.
It is important to remember that service to medically underserved populations is the primary purpose of the NHSC LRP and not the repayment of educational loans. The NHSC LRP will pay up to $50,000 for two years of service, based on the participant�s outstanding balance of qualifying educational loans.
If the total amount of the participant�s qualifying educational loans is less than $50,000, the NHSC LRP will pay the remaining balance of the total qualifying educational loans for two years of service.[source]

University of Chicago Hormel Public Interest Program Loan Forgiveness Program
Work in the public interest is a valuable and fulfilling career option, and the University of Chicago Law School is committed to making such options available for its graduates. One obstacle is the large educational debt many undertake to pay for their undergraduate and graduate education.
In response, the Law School created a unique and generous program to assist its graduates who pursue careers in the public interest. The Hormel Public Interest Program, or "HPIP," is not a traditional loan repayment assistance program.
There is not a lengthy time requirement to receive benefits, and benefits are provided regardless of spousal income or potential family contributions. We like to think that the HPIP approach is the best way to support and encourage our graduates.
Brief Summary: HPIP replaces the previous University of Chicago Loan Repayment Assistance Program, and is available beginning with the Class of 2007. University of Chicago Law School graduates who work full-time in a qualifying job with a salary of less than $50,000 will receive an interest-free loan of $5,000 a year from the Law School, with each loan forgiven in full before the end of each year.
Benefits under HPIP are available for the five years following graduation, for a potential total of $25,000. The benefit is available regardless of parental, spousal, or other income Requirements and Restrictions Full Time: The position must be full-time (40 hours per week maintained for at least nine months of the calendar year, and in a year that is within five years of graduation Salary Requirements: Full qualification requires a salary of less than $50,000 annually.
Graduates earning between $50,000 and $60,00 annually will be eligible for an award that decreases proportionally as income rises. Qualified Public Interest Position: The graduate must be: (a) engaged in the full-time practice of law, or in positions normally requiring a law degree; (b) working for the public interest, broadly defined; and (c) working for a non-profit organization or government office other than in a judicial clerkship (see below for treatment of judicial clerkships).
Final determinations of eligibility will be made by the Financial Aid Committee of the University of Chicago Law School. Judicial Clerkship Exception: For graduates who work at a qualifying job in the year following a judicial clerkshi
p, the graduate will receive an additional year of eligibility for HPIP benefits. Clerks can receive up to five years of benefits within the six-year period immediately following graduation. Parental Leave Extension: Graduates who leave HPIP for parental leave will be given an additional year of eligibility. They can receive up to five years of benefits within the six-year period following graduation. Distribution of Funds: Participants will apply by September 1 for the year. Loans will be made in October and then forgiven the next July, subject to the Program's requirements.
Graduates who continue in the Program confirm their continuing HPIP status by September for the next year. Award Amounts and Restrictions: The base award of $5,000 per year is available to all graduates who begin law study at the University of Chicago Law School in the Class of 2007. the Program does not cover LLM graduates.
Transfer students who join the Class of 2007 are eligible on a proportional basis, so that a transfer student who graduated after spending two years at the Law School would be eligible to r
eceive up to two-thirds of $5,000 ($3,333) in each of the five years of eligibility. Loan Repayment Requirement: To qualify, a graduate must agree that the entire amount received from HPIP will repay outstanding educational debt. A graduate who otherwise qualifies but whose outstanding debt is less than the amount to be awarded will receive a benefit equal to the amount of their outstanding debt.
This requirement conforms to current Internal Revenue Service Rules. Tax Considerations: The program participant must determine whether payments under the plan should be included in ordinary income or exempted pursuant to Section 108(e) of the Federal Tax Code (26 U.S.C. � 108(e)). Our goal has been to design a program with tax-exempt benefits. Financial Aid Committee: All HPIP benefits must be approved by the Financial Aid Committee of the University of Chicago Law School. All decisions by the Committee are final.[source]
In response, the Law School created a unique and generous program to assist its graduates who pursue careers in the public interest. The Hormel Public Interest Program, or "HPIP," is not a traditional loan repayment assistance program.
There is not a lengthy time requirement to receive benefits, and benefits are provided regardless of spousal income or potential family contributions. We like to think that the HPIP approach is the best way to support and encourage our graduates.
Brief Summary: HPIP replaces the previous University of Chicago Loan Repayment Assistance Program, and is available beginning with the Class of 2007. University of Chicago Law School graduates who work full-time in a qualifying job with a salary of less than $50,000 will receive an interest-free loan of $5,000 a year from the Law School, with each loan forgiven in full before the end of each year.
Benefits under HPIP are available for the five years following graduation, for a potential total of $25,000. The benefit is available regardless of parental, spousal, or other income Requirements and Restrictions Full Time: The position must be full-time (40 hours per week maintained for at least nine months of the calendar year, and in a year that is within five years of graduation Salary Requirements: Full qualification requires a salary of less than $50,000 annually.
Graduates earning between $50,000 and $60,00 annually will be eligible for an award that decreases proportionally as income rises. Qualified Public Interest Position: The graduate must be: (a) engaged in the full-time practice of law, or in positions normally requiring a law degree; (b) working for the public interest, broadly defined; and (c) working for a non-profit organization or government office other than in a judicial clerkship (see below for treatment of judicial clerkships).
Final determinations of eligibility will be made by the Financial Aid Committee of the University of Chicago Law School. Judicial Clerkship Exception: For graduates who work at a qualifying job in the year following a judicial clerkshi
p, the graduate will receive an additional year of eligibility for HPIP benefits. Clerks can receive up to five years of benefits within the six-year period immediately following graduation. Parental Leave Extension: Graduates who leave HPIP for parental leave will be given an additional year of eligibility. They can receive up to five years of benefits within the six-year period following graduation. Distribution of Funds: Participants will apply by September 1 for the year. Loans will be made in October and then forgiven the next July, subject to the Program's requirements.
Graduates who continue in the Program confirm their continuing HPIP status by September for the next year. Award Amounts and Restrictions: The base award of $5,000 per year is available to all graduates who begin law study at the University of Chicago Law School in the Class of 2007. the Program does not cover LLM graduates.
Transfer students who join the Class of 2007 are eligible on a proportional basis, so that a transfer student who graduated after spending two years at the Law School would be eligible to r
eceive up to two-thirds of $5,000 ($3,333) in each of the five years of eligibility. Loan Repayment Requirement: To qualify, a graduate must agree that the entire amount received from HPIP will repay outstanding educational debt. A graduate who otherwise qualifies but whose outstanding debt is less than the amount to be awarded will receive a benefit equal to the amount of their outstanding debt.
This requirement conforms to current Internal Revenue Service Rules. Tax Considerations: The program participant must determine whether payments under the plan should be included in ordinary income or exempted pursuant to Section 108(e) of the Federal Tax Code (26 U.S.C. � 108(e)). Our goal has been to design a program with tax-exempt benefits. Financial Aid Committee: All HPIP benefits must be approved by the Financial Aid Committee of the University of Chicago Law School. All decisions by the Committee are final.[source]

The Post baccalaureate Research and Education Program (PREP) at the University of New Mexico
Program Description:
Use that hard earned BA/BS degree as a full time research scholar AND get ready to take your career to the next level!
So you have just graduated or you are about to graduate with a degree in Science, Mathematics, or Engineering and you want to go to graduate school but feel you need one more year to gain research experience and to fill in those last few deficiencies in order to be highly successful. You are not alone. Many recent graduates feel they need just a little more time, experience and direction before entering the graduate program of their choice.
The UNM PREP program offers recent graduates, with BA/BS degrees from a variety science, mathematics and engineering programs, the opportunity to work full time in a biomedical related research laboratory, while taking courses and attending seminars that will better prepare them to apply and be accepted into a biomedical related graduate program.
Scholars will work and be paid a full time salary to carry out original independent research under the mentorship of a research active professor at the University of New Mexico. While working full time as a research scientist, scholars will be given the opportunity to take courses to eliminate any deficiencies they may have, attend regular scientific seminars, and take part in short courses offered by the PREP program in connection with other on-campus research and education programs on how to take the GRE and apply to graduate school. Finally all scholars, under the direction of their research mentors, will apply to a graduate program of their choice.

Summer Undergraduate Research 2007
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program provides paid internship opportunities for students to work intensively with faculty on research projects for ten weeks during the summer. The program's goals are to introduce students to research projects in Biomedical and Health Informatics, to facilitate contact with faculty, and to increase awareness among undergraduates about this emerging field. Biomedical and Health Informatics studies the acquisition, maintenance, retrieval and application of biomedical knowledge and information to improve patient care, medical education and health sciences research. Students are expected to present their research projects at the end of the program in a mini symposium. Titles of past undergraduate projects are available for browsing.
Eligibility for the Summer Undergraduate Research Program is limited to students who are either attending a college in the State of Washington or Washington residents going to college outside of the state. Seniors graduating in the Spring or Summer of 2007 are not eligible for the program.
In 2007, we expect to offer 5 - 7 students positions with various faculty in the Division of Biomedical and Health Informatics. Applicants should browse all of our research projects web pages to get an idea of the breadth of work carried out by the UW BHI group. This year, the following faculty have indicated that they are willing to mentor summer undergraduates. These faculty usually have specific projects in mind that fit within their research interests, and you may wish to browse their web pages to understand more about these. Most of the funding for SURP comes from research grants led by these faculty and is earmarked toward specific research goals. Applicants are encouraged to contact these faculty to ask questions or find out more about this summer's opportunities.

Junior Year Study Abroad
Leading experts in international education contend that study abroad takes young people to new environments beyond their natural comfort zones, stretches their world view and encourages independence of thought and confidence. UNCFSP goes one step further and insists that having at least one experience studying and living abroad experience is almost a prerequisite to a successful international service career. Without the language and cultural immersion that should accompany overseas study of a semester or more (as required by IIPP), one can hardly consider an international service professional equipped for effectiveness in today’s global environment.
In preparation for study abroad, fellows complete a Study Abroad Profile listing their countries and programs of interest. During SSPI, fellows have a full day orientation session on overseas study and meet one-on-one with assigned IIPP Study Abroad Consultants expert in advising minority students to discuss program selection and to prepare a study abroad budget.
Fellows study abroad at accredited overseas institutions during the junior year in college. To date, IIPP Fellows have studied across the globe: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, the Czech Republic, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Ecuador, France, Germany, Ghana, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Niger, Paraguay, Poland, Puerto Rico, Senegal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe; and the list continues to grow.[source]

Graduate Fellowship
A masters degree in international affairs or a related field is almost a prerequisite to leadership in the international arena. Accordingly, Fellows apply to and enroll in the Nation’s leading graduate programs, most members of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA).
To date, IIPP Fellows have enrolled at the following institutions: American University, Columbia University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Princeton University, Syracuse University, Tufts University, University of Denver, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, University of Washington, and Yale University. Non-APSIA schools include Cornell University, Pepperdine University, New York University, and the Bush School at Texas A&M.
Participating graduate schools provide support of at least $15,000 over the course of a two-year program. IIPP, in turn, provides each of its Fellows with a matching grant of $15,000 to be applied in accordance with an agreement between IIPP and the institution the Fellow attends.[source]

The Annual UW Undergraduate Research Symposium
Friday, May 18, 2007, 12-5 pm, in Mary Gates Hall
Fostering a Community of Student Scholars
The Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is not only a chance for undergraduates to present what they have learned through their research experiences to a larger audience, but also an opportunity for students, faculty, and the community to discuss cutting edge research topics and to examine the connection between research and education. The Symposium includes poster and presentation sessions by students from all academic disciplines and all three UW campuses, plus invited guests.
All UW undergraduates involved in research are encouraged to apply and those not yet involved in research will discover that attending the Symposium is a great way to learn about the broad range of opportunities available at the UW. In 2006, over 540 undergraduates participated in the Symposium, with over 3500 people attending.
The Symposium includes projects from all disciplines and encourages interdisciplinary discourse, allowing students to learn from each other about a broad range of exciting research topics. To help participants prepare, the URP conducts Symposium Information Sessions, abstract writing, poster design and presentation workshops.
Participant abstracts are published in the Symposium Proceedings, and students can include their presentations on resumes and graduate school applications.
Questions about the symposium? Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
The Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities
The Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities provides a unique opportunity for selected undergraduates to earn full-time, academic credit through immersion in scholarly research with accomplished scholars and peers. Bringing together four faculty and twenty students in plenary, seminar and tutorial-style sessions, the Institute encourages mutual learning as well as independent thought.
The institute was created by the Undergraduate Research Program in collaboration with the Simpson Center for the Humanities in response to student demand for opportunities to engage in scholarly work at the undergraduate level. Conversations with and surveys of faculty in the humanities led to the concept of an intensive summer research program that would bring faculty and students together to explore an interdisciplinary theme.
he Summer Institute offers a research opportunity for undergraduates that provides them the intensive training and environment in which to pursue individual research. This scholarly experience occurs in the context of a group of students working on related projects with faculty who offer expertise from disciplinary and interdisciplinary points of view.

The goals for the Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities are to increase the number of undergraduates doing research in the humanities by providing an intensive research opportunity for humanities and arts students; to engage humanities and arts faculty in research with undergraduates; to create tools for faculty to introduce individuals and groups of students to scholarly research; to establish a community of undergraduate arts and humanities scholars; and to create a forum for humanities undergraduates to present their scholarly work.
Participants are selected through an open, competitive application process and are provided a scholarship to participate in the program. Student participants develop individual, original research ideas related to an interdisciplinary theme, create a scholarly research paper or project, work through a faculty and peer critique process and formally present their work to their colleagues and the larger community at a closing symposium.
Be sure to read Phillip Thurtle's 2005 Summer Institute Symposium closing remarks on the value of undergraduate research in the arts and humanities.

IIEP 2007 Summer School Paris, 6–15 June 2007
Transparency, accountability and anti-corruption measures in education
Rigged calls for tender, embezzlement, illegal registration fees, academic fraud – there is ample evidence of the prevalence of corruption in education. Recent surveys suggest that leakage of funds from education ministries to schools can represent up to 80 per cent of the total sum allocated (non-salary expenditures) in some countries. Bribes and payoffs in teacher recruitment and promotion tend to lower the quality of teachers; and illegal payments for school entrance and other hidden costs contribute to low enrolment and high drop-out rates.
Since 2001, the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) has been conducting a research project on ‘Ethics and corruption in education’ with the aim of assessing the nature and extent of the problem, and identifying good practices and solutions. It has focused on the financing of schools, teacher management and behaviour, public contracts, production and distribution of textbooks, organization of examinations, accreditation of higher education institutions, private tutoring, and more.
The project has included the organisation of a large number of policy seminars, training workshops, study tours and courses in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The IIEP is now ready to launch its first
international course which will be based on the numerous activities carried out within the framework of the project.
IIEP’s 2007 Summer School on Transparency, accountability and anti-corruption measures in education will be held from 6 to 15 June 2007 in Paris. The IIEP will collaborate with the World Bank Institute (WBI) and the Open Society Institute (OSI) for its preparation and organisation. Transparency International (TI) and the Utstein Anti-corruption Resource Centre (U4) will also be associated with this initiative.[source]
