Weidenfeld Scholarships & Leadership Programme

Post by Al-Wahedi »

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme run by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) will fund 30-40 Scholars in the 2012-13 academic year. This Programme, launched in May 2007, offers outstanding postgraduate students and young professionals support for graduate studies at the University of Oxford complemented by a comprehensive leadership development programme. In its first phase this programme has primarily supported scholars from Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East.

In seeking to cultivate leaders of the future, the Programme selects students and young professionals with demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to public service. It offers them the unique opportunity to:

· Pursue fully funded graduate studies at the University of Oxford with no restriction as to the chosen academic field;

· Participate in a comprehensive leadership programme providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to public life in their countries and regions of origin or globally; and

· Build lasting professional networks across cultures and continents.

Candidates must apply through the official University of Oxford application process by January 2012 (6 January 2012 for Medical Sciences and Philosophy students; 20 January 2012 for all other subjects) and need to be accepted by the university before being considered for the Weidenfeld Scholarship.

Please find attached additional information about the programme and details regarding eligibility criteria and the application process. For further information please visit ISD’s website www.strategicdialogue.org and do not hesitate to contact the Institute for Strategic Dialogue by email at info@strategicdialogue.org or by telephone on +44 207 493 9333.

We would be most grateful for your assistance in raising awareness of the Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme by circulating this information to relevant universities, students, educational organisations in your country and appropriate professional networks.

Yours sincerely,

Otto Szoke
