The
International Peace Research Association (IPRA) Foundation
invites applications for the Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship in Peace and
Development Studies for Women from developing
countries. The Senesh Fellowship provides a biennial fellowship for two years of graduate study to a
woman from the third world.
IDRA
Foundation is a non-profit organization aims
at furthering the purposes and activities of the International Peace Research
Association, which has for the last thirty two years sought to enhance the
process of peace.
The Senesh
Fellowship is available to women from
developing countries who have completed a Bachelor’s degree, who have been
accepted into a graduate program and whose graduate work is to be focused on
issues related to the goals of IPRA. Funds will only be dispersed when the
selected candidate is admitted into a graduate program. Awards are considered
based on need; therefore students with substantial funding
sources are less likely to be considered for the award.
Every other year (beginning in 1990) one woman from a
developing country receives school expenses in the amount of $5,000 per year
for two years.
Last
date for submission of applications is January 15, 2012
