The International Peace Research Association Foundation (IPRA) was founded in 1990 as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. The Foundation’s sole function is to further the purposes and activities of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA), which has for the last fifty years sought to enhance the process of peace.
The International Peace Research Association Foundation invites applications for the Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship in Peace and Development Studies for Women from developing countries. Dorothy Senesh was a long-time activist for international peace and justice.
Her husband Lawrence established this fellowship following her death in 1989. The first award was made at the IPRA 25th Anniversary meeting, July 1990, in Groningen, Netherlands and has been made biennially since. The thirteenth award will be made at the 25th biennial IPRA meeting in Turkey.
Study Subject and Level:
Fellowships are provided in the field of Peace and Development Studies to pursuing the graduate level degree.
The Dorothy 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.
Scholarship Value:
Every other year (beginning in 1990) one woman receives school expenses in the amount of $5,000 per year for two years. This year, for the first time, we will award two fellowships.
Selection Criteria:
Awards are considered based on need; therefore students with substantial funding sources are less likely to be considered for the award.
Notification:
Announcement of the Award will be made by March 1, 2014.
How to Apply?
The applying mode is email or mail one copy of all application materials by post.
Application Deadline: January 15, 2014.
