TIMOR-LESTE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 2012

 ANNOUNCEMENT

Pending U.S. Department of State funding, the East-West Center is pleased to announce the 2012 United States–Timor-Leste (USTL) Scholarship Program competition. The Program, funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, is a competitive, merit-based scholarship program open to East Timorese who meet specific selection criteria.
The objective of the Program is to identify and support the education of academically talented East Timorese who are in the future expected to assume leadership roles in Timor-Leste. Following a “bridge” year of intensive English language preparation, the scholarship provides the opportunity to pursue the associate of arts (two-year) degree or a bachelor’s (S1) (four-year) degree study at a university in the United States, in fields that are directly relevant to the needs of the country. It will also enable the recipients to obtain a broader understanding of the United States. The scholarship program will include a summer internship in Washington, D.C. as well as a four to five week community service project in Timor-Leste.
Eligible fields of study emphasize areas of critical development needs in Timor-Leste. Students admitted to the undergraduate degree program will pursue fields of study related to agriculture, business, communication, computer science, economics, education, environmental sciences, international relations, political science, psychology, urban planning. 
Completed applications must be received by AUGUST 17, 2012 for awards beginning in January 2013.
For 2012, four (4) scholarships will be available.
There are specific eligibility and selection criteria that applicants must satisfy before they can be considered for a scholarship.  Please see “Information for Applicants” in the application packet for complete details regarding eligibility, selection criteria, and campus placement information for AA or BA candidates.
