Institute for the Development of Education will soon be inviting applications for candidates who would like to study or carry out research for up to one year at the Universities of Oxford or York ( academic year 2010 -2011). The OSI/ Chevening Scholarships are jointly funded by the Open Society Institute and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
The scholarships are intended to provide opportunities for postgraduate study for scholars and young professionals who demonstrate both academic excellence and the potential to become leaders, decision makers and opinion formers in their home countries. Applicants should have excellent academic qualifications, a clear and precise proposal describing what they wish to study, and a fluent command of the English language.
Within the Scholarship Scheme, the following options are available:
Research Scholarships
