Graduate education scholarships in human rights for women

We are writing to you to inform you and your organization about a funding opportunity for women pursuing non-doctoral level graduate education. Scholarship recipients enroll in programs of study that cover a range of human rights and development issues at the non-doctoral graduate level including gender, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, child exploitation, human and drug trafficking, infant and maternal mortality, microbial diseases, conflict resolution, environmental justice, global fair trade, agroecology, and sustainable development.

NLS is a secular program and does not support programs of study that promote specific religious beliefs.

The NLS awards four to six scholarships per year, up to US$25,000 per academic year for a maximum of two years. The awards help the recipients meet the costs of tuition, fees, books, educational supplies, housing,maintenance, and travel to and from the home country and the educational institution.

All applicants are invited to fill out pre-applications (which will be available Jan. 1 through March 25, 2006).
