2017-18 Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Association International Scholarships
This is the call for the
2017-18 Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Association International Scholarships. There will be
two awardees from UCLA, each getting a stipend of $2,000. The application and faculty recommendation form are attached.
Selection criteria:
a.
The award is intended for international students
completing their graduate work. At UCLA, preference will be
given to students formally advanced to doctoral candidacy at the time of
application and who plan to return to their home country upon
completion of the degree. Students are only eligible
for one award (i.e., previous recipients cannot apply again).
b.
Awardees
are expected to be returning to their home countries, preferably just
after completing the degree. However, postdoctoral study has always been
an area where
some latitude has been permitted, especially where it is expected as
“part of the degree” and/or is unobtainable in the home country. It is
also recognized that political or economic conditions may prevent the
student from returning home.
c.
Awardees must have both academic excellence and significant financial need.
d.
Awardees
have to be fully enrolled throughout the coming academic year (all
terms) to receive their scholarships. (Proof of enrollment is required
to get the checks.)
The filing fee is not considered “full enrollment.”
e.
Awardees are not limited to persons who come from underdeveloped or developing countries.
f.
Awards are made without discrimination on the basis of sex, race, age, or creed.
Submission instructions:
a.
A single PDF file should be emailed to
uclafellowship@grad.ucla.edu by the stated deadline:
4pm, Monday, May 1, 2017. The contents of the PDF are listed on the attached Checklist.
b.
The
two letters of recommendation (LORs) should be submitted with the
student’s application or as hard copies to my office on departmental
letterhead, be signed at
the bottom of the letter as well as across the sealed back of the
envelope. The LORs also need to be received by the deadline.

Thank you.
