Re: Call for Applications: Fulbright-OAS Award for CanadianEnvironmentalists - Deadline May 31, 2004
It is my pleasure to call your
attention to an awards program designed to recognize and support
Canadian professionals and students active in the areas of environmental
protection and sustainable development. Your assistance in disseminating this
information among the University of
Saskatchewan community would be most
appreciated.
The Fulbright-OAS Ecology Initiative
supports exceptional individuals throughout the Americas who
have contributed in important ways to sustainable development and environmental
protection in their own countries. Valued at more than US$30,000 over
two years, the Fulbright-OAS Ecology Award offers successful candidates the
opportunity to pursue a graduate degree in the fields of natural sciences,
social sciences or public policy at a university of their choice in the
United States.
Each year, one individual from each
country in the Western
Hemisphere is awarded a Fulbright-OAS
Ecology scholarship. This year, Mr. Ian Scott, a University of
Victoria alumnus and currently Georgian Basin Program
Coordinator at Ecotrust Canada, was
selected to participate in the prestigious program.
The competition officially opens
March 1, 2004 and applications will be accepted until May 31, 2004
for awards to be taken up September 2005. As of March 1, applications will
be available to download at www.laspau.harvard.edu/fb-oas.htm (username-
fbapp, password- education).
Applicants must have outstanding academic and professional
qualifications and the potential to take a leadership role in addressing
environmental issues in the region. Candidates must be Canadian citizens
who demonstrate the potential to assume a leadership role in
fostering environmental preservation.
Thank you very much for reviewing this information. For further
information, I would encourage you to visit our web site at www.fulbright.ca or to contact me
directly at (613) 688-5517, ajharvey@fulbright.ca. Your
assistance in informing your community of awards available through the Canada-US
Fulbright Program is greatly appreciated.
