NFP Fellowship for Short Course on Conflict Management, Netherlands

04.11.2011 · Posted in Netherlands, Non-degree, Psychology

Short course Competing Claims on Natural Resources in Wagenin

As from 2010 the Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation (formerly
Wageningen International) offers a 2-weeks short course focusing on conflict
management entitled: “Competing claims on natural resources”. In the underlying
philosophy of the course natural resource management equates natural resource
conflict management and I think that most of you are professionally so much
engaged in managing conflict that you may agree with this philosophy. If that is
the case this course is of interest to you, your colleagues and your wider
network. Please forward this mail and attachment (the course brochure)
accordingly.

The next “Competing Claims on Natural resources” course runs from 20th of
February to 2nd of March 2012. I know, that seems far away but please realise
that the application period for a NFP fellowship closes the 29th of April 2011
(and that is next month!)

For this course Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation (NFP) fellowships are available. Please note that
the application procedure from Nuffic has been
changed:

Tips To Get Financial Aid Scholarships

Many students know that grants and scholarships are a surefire way to help pay for the high cost of a college degree. A high level of stress doesn't need to come along with the process of applying for financial aid. With knowledge and foresight, earning financial aid to help pay for college doesn't need to be a challenge.

Students may be applying for financial aid in the form of scholarships for a number of reasons. Some scholarships are offered to students who demonstrate a financial need for monetary help and thus are considered need based. Other scholarships are merit-based and help reward students who may not demonstrate financial need, but could still benefit from financial aid. Either way, the process of applying for scholarships remains the same.

There are some steps that are simply applicable across the board, no matter what type of financial aid students are applying for. From the East coast to the West coast, these strategies have been continually employed. They are proven to be the most successful; both in positive results and in helping students develop a sense of organization.

The first tip is also applicable to deadlines while students attend college: start looking early and keep track of deadlines. Organization is paramount throughout the process of scholarship applications. Missing a deadline is not an option; scholarship boards will not accept late applications. The earlier students identify which scholarships they want to apply for, the more time they have to make their application top-notch.

The second tip for making yourself into an attractive scholarship applicant requires more work than simply writing down dates in a calendar. When trying to win financial aid money, GPA and demonstrating financial need are absolutely important. However, many scholarships want a full picture of the applicants - so community and campus involvement are just as important as your grades. Staying involved in extracurricular activities like clubs, sports and volunteering will help make you into a desirable applicant when you're aiming for financial aid.

The actual process of submitting an application requires the same type of organization as keeping track of dates. Students need to be sure to read all the instructions so they don't skip or accidentally miss an important part of the scholarship's instructions. No matter how messy they are regularly, the scholarship application itself needs to be neatly handwritten or typed, with an attention to detail. Scholarship boards process hundreds of applications regularly and don't have the time to be deciphering horrible penmanship!

Students who are vying for scholarships may be drawn first and foremost to the biggest scholarships available on a national level. However, it is wisest to apply for local scholarships first. The smaller the pool of applicants, the more likely it is that students will be successful in winning their financial aid. Local colleges and universities are an excellent source of individual scholarship opportunities, and many hometown individuals and programs will also offer students financial aid. The search can be broadened only after the closest opportunities are taken advantage of.
