Introduction to the Scholarship Program

2007-05-24T00:37:00.000-07:00

The IMF, in cooperation with the government of Japan, has been administering the IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies since the 1990s. The objective of the program is to enhance the financial and economic policymaking capacity of governments in Asia and to promote high-quality and sustainable growth in the region, and also to train potential candidates for staff economist positions at the Fund.

The Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies, provides scholarships for qualified scholars who want to study economics at the doctorate level at a leading university in North America.

How to apply for the Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies

The Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies is targeted to nationals of IMF Asian member countries interested in studying for their doctorates in economics in order to work in an international financial institution (such as the IMF or the World Bank) or in their home administrations.

To apply for the program, candidates must show that they have been admitted to a Ph.D. program in economics at one of North America's or Australia's leading universities.

Those selected for the Scholarship Program attend an orientation course in Washington, D.C., shortly before they begin their studies at their respective university. Scholarships cover all reasonable costs for the first two years of study. Scholars are expected to secure another source of funding to cover the remaining years of study.

Scholarships are awarded in the spring, for studies starting in the fall of that year. Candidates must apply directly to North American or Australian universities for admission. The deadline for receipt of scholarship applications is December 31.

For information about submitting applications and any other information regarding applications: Please address the Institute of International Education (IIE) at japanimfscholarship@iie.org

For general questions about the administration of the Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Advanced Studies: Please contact the IMF Institute at japanimfscholarship@imf.org

The American Dietetic Association, through its many association groups, offers a variety of scholarships and educational stipends to individuals pursuing undergraduate and advanced degrees in dietetics or food and nutrition related areas. General scholarship and educational stipend information from the American Dietetic Association Foundation, the dietetic practice groups and affiliate (state) and district dietetic associations can be accessed from the respective group's information listed on this site.

Scholarships Offered Through the American Dietetic Association Foundation
Scholarships, including funds set up by many of the affiliate (state) dietetic associations and dietetic practice groups, are available to encourage eligible students and members to enroll in dietetics programs. All ADAF scholarships require ADA membership; some may require specific dietetic practice group membership and residency in a specific state.

While all students are eligible for most ADAF scholarships, some are specified for dietetics students who are members of underrepresented groups.

Eligibility and Application Information
Scholarships awarded by the ADAF are generally for ADA members enrolled in the junior or senior year of a baccalaureate or coordinated program in dietetics or the second year of study in a dietetic technician program, a dietetic internship program or a graduate program. One application form is used for all ADAF scholarships. The number of scholarships available and their dollar amounts vary from year to year. For the 2006-2007 academic year, 211 scholarships were awarded in amounts ranging from $500 to $3,000. The majority of the scholarships awarded are for $1,000.

Scholarships Offered by Other ADA Groups
Scholarships from the dietetic practice groups and the affiliate and district dietetic associations generally require membership in that group or residence in its area. Individuals interested in scholarships offered by the DPGs and affiliate or district dietetic associations should contact these groups directly for more information.

The publication lists more than 100 groups offering financial assistance and features education organizations, loan programs, literature and Internet resources. Download the free pdf version.
