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; and
- Participate in a comprehensive leadership programme providing them with:
- The knowledge and skills needed to contribute to public life in, and play a transformational role in the development of, their countries and regions of origin;
- Lasting professional networks across cultures and continents to be drawn on throughout their post-university careers.
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.
