for these scholarships, the faculty and Admissions Office will confer

($5,000/year) .

competitive. In awarding these scholarships, St. Olaf seeks

exceptional students with energy and initiative, independence,

originality, a sense of humor, and concern for others.

 

All international applicants whose native language is not English are

required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)or

IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Minimum TOEFL

Graduate: Bard College Center for Environmental Policy MSc in

Environmental Policy Program and International Scholarships,

Annandale-on- Hudson, New York

 

The Center's Graduate Program offers an intensive course of study and

practical training in preparation for environmental careers in

nonprofit organizations, government, and the private sector. The

program emphasizes methods of critical inquiry, and provides the

practical knowledge necessary to apply environmental science to

decisions affecting society and to understand the legal, political,

socioeconomic, cultural, and ethical forces that influence the

decision-making process. Graduates of the program are ready to bring

these assets, underpinned by a sense of social responsibility and

commitment, to their future work.

 

Non-repayable grants are awarded on the basis of financial need and

academic achievement and promise. Scholarships range from $5,000 to

$22,000 annually for full-time enrollment.

 

Application Deadline

 

Scholarships March 15

General Admission: February 2, 2009

 

Eligibility Requirements

 

Scholarships

 

To be considered for financial aid at Bard College, international

students and their parents are expected to complete the International

Student Financial Aid Formand the Declaration of Finances, which

foreign nationals file in order to obtain a visa.

 

Prospective students' files are maintained in the Admissions Office

along with their admission documents. The Admissions Office reviews

the Declaration of Finances for each student. Upon notifying the

student about admission, assuming that the decision is favorable, the

Financial Aid Office will prepare a response to the student about

financial aid. At times the need of the student is far greater than

the College's resources can meet. In such a case, the Admission

Office

will correspond with the student stating that no offer of aid is

being

made due to that fact. The student in this case is given an

opportunity to submit a new Declaration of Finances, indicating

available resources to be higher.

 

General Admission

 

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the program, there are no

specific requirements concerning the applicant's prior field of

study.

However, applicants must have a bachelor's degree or equivalent

preparation as determined by the director of admissions.

Undergraduate

work should include at least one semester of calculus, statistics, or

microeconomics. In addition, the applicant should have successfully

completed the equivalent of two semesters in college of any

combination of chemistry, biology, physics, earth science, or

atmospheric science; in the case of international students, a high

school BAC in math or science is required. Students lacking an

economics background or a basic understanding of chemistry and

biology

are still encouraged to apply for admission, but are strongly advised

to fill these gaps before entering the program.

 

Foreign applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English and should

take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). TOEFL scores

should be sent to the Bard Center for Environmental Policy by the

Educational Testing Service. A minimum score of 600 on the written

test or 250 on the computer-based test is required for admission.

Other evidence of English-language proficiency will be accepted only

with the approval of the Graduate Admission Committee.

Professional and Post Doctorate: National Endowment for Democracy

Reagan-Fascell Democracy Program

 

Named in honor of NED's principal founders, former president Ronald

Reagan and the late congressman Dante Fascell, the Reagan-Fascell

Democracy Fellows Program was established in 2001 with funding from

the U.S. Congress to enable democratic activists, practitioners,

scholars, and journalists from around the world to deepen their

understand-ing of democracy and enhance their ability to promote

democratic change. Fellows are in residence at the Forum and

participate in the collegial life of the Endowment and in the many

opportunities for professional exchange in Washington, D.C.

 

The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program is intended primarily

for

practitioners and scholars from emerging and aspiring democracies.

Distinguished scholars from the United States and other established

democracies are also eligible to apply. The program offers five-month

fellowships for practitioners to improve strategies and techniques

for

building democ-racy abroad and five- to ten-month fellowships for

scholars to conduct original re-search for publica-tion. While the

two

tracks share many common elements, they have different eligibility

requirements and distinct goals, activities, and products associated

with them.

 

The Practitioner Track

 

The Reagan-Fascell program was established with the primary purpose

of

supporting democracy activists, human rights advocates, journalists,

and others who work on the frontlines of building democracy in

emerging and aspiring democracies. The program provides practitioners

with a needed break from their daily routine so that they may reflect

on their work, learn from counterparts in the United States, and

reevaluate techniques for building democracy in their country of

origin.

 

The Scholarly Track

 

In recognition of the importance of intellectual contributions to the

theory and practice of democracy, the Reagan-Fascell program offers a

scholarly track for scholars, professors, and established writers.

Applicants for this track may be scholars from emerging and aspiring

democracies or accomplished scholars from the United States and other

established democracies.

 

Application Deadline November 10, 2008

 

Eligibility Requirements

 

The Practitioner Track:

 

Applicants interested in the practitioner track are expected to have

substantial practical experience working to promote democracy or

human

rights in their country of origin or interest. There are no specific

degree requirements for the practitioner track. A Ph.D., for

instance,

is not required of practitioner applicants. While there are also no

age limits, applicants on the practitioner track are typically

mid-career professionals with several years of professional

experience

in the field of democracy and human rights. Examples of eligible

candidates for the practitioner track include human rights advocates,

political party activists, professional staff of civic or

humanitarian

organizations, international lawyers, journalists, labor leaders,

politicians, and diplomats.

 

Practitioner fellowships are typically five months in duration and

culminate in a strategic policy memorandum, short article or op-ed,

as

well as a formal presentation of the fellow's analysis and ideas.

 

The Scholarly Track:

 

Applicants interested in the scholarly track are expected to possess

a

doctorate (a Ph.D., or academic equivalent) at the time of

application, to have published in their field of expertise, and to

have developed a detailed research outline for their fellowship

project. Examples of eligible candidates for the scholarly track

include college and university professors, analysts at research

centers and "think tanks," and independent writers. Occasionally, a

professional who is planning to write a book or other scholarly

publication may qualify to apply on the scholarly track.

 

English Language Requirement

 

A working knowledge of English is an important prerequisite for

participation in the program. While the fellow's primary product may

be in his/her native language, it is expected that he/she will have a

solid command of written and spoken English for general communication

purposes. All application materials must be submitted in English (or

accompanied by an English translation) .

 

Additionally to the application form a project proposal; resume or CV

and three letters of recommendation are required. See Information

Booklet for details.
