Sumber beasiswa di luar negeri

Sumber beasiswa itu untuk sekolah di luar negeri itu cukup banyak tapi
setidaknya bisa dikelompokkan ke 3 group.

Group 1: Beasiswa dari lembaga pemberi beasiswa baik untuk berasal dari
pemerintah atau non pemerintah misalnya Council for International Exchange
of Scholars (CIES), Sampoerna, dll. Lamaran ditujukan ke lembaga pemberi
beasiswa itu atau melalui organisasi yang ditunjuk oleh lembaga itu.

Group 2: Beasiswa dari tempat kita bekerja, misalnya PLN, Bank Indonesia,
dll. Sebelum krismon lebih banyak lagi lembaga pemerintah yang memberikan
beasiswa dengan ikatan dinas (tugas belajar). Banyak juga beasiswa itu yang
asalnya berasal dari dana atau hutang luar negeri.

Group 3: Beasiswa langsung dari sekolah di luar negeri.

Orang Indonesia umumnya mencari beasiswa melalui group 1 dan 2. Masih
sedikit yang mencari beasiswa langsung dari sekolah yang dituju (group 3).

Padahal, banyak sekolah di luar negeri khususnya di Amerika yang memberikan
beasiswa dalam bentuk
teaching assistantship (TA) ataupun research assistanship (RA) asalkan
Anda memiliki nilai TOEFL (Test of English as a
Foreign Language), GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test), atau GRE
(Graduate Record Examination) yang tinggi. Sayangnya, nilai TOEFL, GMAT, dan
GRE orang Indonesia biasanya lebih rendah dari pada nilai orang India dan
China sehingga sedikit orang Indonesia yang mendapat beasiswa langsung dari
sekolah di luar negeri.

2008 Programme [First Call] NOW OPEN

IRCSET's Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme is designed for either Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering or technology.

2008 Programme [First Call] NOW OPEN

The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering & Technology
invites applications for funding from intending postgraduate
researchers under the Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme
(2008).

This first call in the 2008 programme will fund up to 165 Masters or
Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering and
technology.

The scheme is open to candidates worldwide with a number of
scholarships also being available to exceptional candidates from non
EU member states.

A number of additional scholarships will be jointly funded by
industry as part of IRCSET Enterprise Partnership Scheme (see below
for details). This scheme fosters mutually beneficial collaboration
between the academic and commercial research sectors.

The Closing Date for all applications will be 5pm, Wednesday 20th
February 2008.

Please link here for the news release announcing the 2008 programme.

INTENDING CANDIDATES SHOULD READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION.

Applications will only be received via the Online Grants Applications
System which is available below.

All candidates should carefully read the terms and conditions below
for details on eligibility criteria.

Only candidates with academic records at higher honours level are
likely to be successful in receiving funding.

Enterprise Partnership Scheme

Within this call, a number of Enterprise Partnership Scheme Awards
are also being offered in conjunction with participating industry
partners. The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and
Technology gratefully acknowledges the valuable participation of
these organisations.

Applicants can indicate on their application if in addition to
consideration for an Embark Initiative award they also wish to be
considered for an Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholarship.

Through the Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholars are co-funded by
both IRCSET and an Enterprise Partner. Industry's participation and
co-funding role has enabled IRCSET to support many more young
researchers in Irish research bodies.

The researcher receives the same financial support as a postgraduate
scholar under the normal Embark Initiative Postgraduate Scholarship
Scheme. However, they also benefit from expert industry supervision
and gain experience of research in an industrial environment.

Our list of partners and projects is updated periodically. For up to
date details, please click here.

Under the Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme, funding of
€24,003 is provided for each of three years for Doctorate level
research (total funding of €72,009) and one year (€24,003) for
Masters level research.

Of the €24,003 maximum per annum available to Masters and Doctorate
students, €16,002 goes directly to the student with the remainder
available to fund other forms of support such as fees, appropriate
travel and other expenses
