The Caroline Thomas Memorial Fund has been established to further research into human security in developing countries by supporting females of outstanding merit and research potential from the African continent who would otherwise not have the opportunity or financial resources to do undertake such work. The fund, which will be run as a charitable trust administered by the University of Southampton, will provide a scholarship to qualified students for a three year doctoral programme in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Southampton with its focus on any aspect of human security in a developing country context.
The fund has been set up in memory of the late Professor Caroline Thomas of the University of Southampton, who devoted her career to the plight of the poor and disadvantaged in developing nations. Caroline's 1987 book, ‘In Search of Security: the Third World in International Relations’ was influential in changing the traditional approach to security issues. Security had previously meant only the military security of the state, but in proposing to broaden the agenda beyond its narrow focus on war and arms control, Caroline sought to include issues such as poverty, health and environmental degradation that confront the people of the developing nations, rather than their states.
Based within the Social Sciences at the University of Southampton, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary school with an international reputation and research expertise in political theory, comparative politics, global politics and international relations. To find out more about our research interests please see our website (www.southampton.ac.uk/socsci/politics/research).
The fund, open for 2011 entry, covers the international fees and provides an annual stipend of £13,590 in respect of the candidate's living expenses, as well as a research allowance of £2000. The call for 2011 entry closes on May 31 2011.
Fund eligibility
Applications are competitive and will be assessed on the basis of academic merit and financial need. Applications will be accepted from female students from the continent of Africa, providing you are either a:
* Graduate with a first or upper second class honours degree (or its equivalent)
* Final year undergraduate student proposing to undertake postgraduate studies and who are expected to achieve a first or upper second class honours degree
* Postgraduate with a Master’s qualification in a relevant field study

The Mercurians Travel Grants 2011 in the History of Communication Technologies
The Mercurians, a Special Interest Group of the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), is offering a travel grant of US$1,000 to defray the cost of travel and housing to use a research collection.
The Mercurians began meeting in 1986 for the purpose of generating networks between people who share work and interests in the history of communication technologies, defining the field broadly. Our activities include publishing a semi-annual newsletter, Antenna, meeting during annual SHOT conferences, organizing paper sessions for SHOT meetings, and pursuing contacts between meetings via our Google Groups list. The newsletter serves both as a clearing house for readers and an informal forum for their ideas.
We have added this new initiative to encourage and reward high-caliber research in the history of communication technologies. One of the Mercurians’ missions is to encourage scholarship in the history of communication technologies. There is no travel grant program (either within or outside SHOT) that we are aware of dedicated to supporting scholarship on the history of communication technologies. While the history of communication technology literature is vast and always growing, the quality of the research effort or resulting publication too often falls short of scholarly expectations.
The travel grant is awarded in alternating years. We anticipate presenting the first travel grant during the SHOT annual meeting November 3-6, 2011, in Cleveland.
Eligibility
The grant is intended for and limited to junior scholars meaning either current graduate students or recent postgraduates (no more than three years beyond the terminal degree in their field).
Requirements and Application
Only travel to an appropriate archival collection to carry out research on an aspect of the history of communication technology, broadly defined, will be supported. The archive can be open to the public, private, or even closed, provided that necessary permissions have been obtained from the archive.
Complete the application form (available at: http://www.mercurians.org/grant-form.doc) and e-mail it and a curriculum vitae (no longer than 3 pages) as attachments to the Mercurians c/o abutrica@earthlink.net Your curriculum vitae should include pertinent publications, fellowships, or accomplishments relevant to your proposed research, and professional societies and affiliations.
The deadline for submitting an application for the inaugural grant is August 31, 2011.
For further information or questions, please contact Andrew Butrica at abutrica@earthlink.net

AARP Women's Scholarship Program
AARP Women's Scholarship Program is about creating chances, fostering opportunities and, ultimately, changing lives. Recipients of these scholarships are diverse and inspirational: A widow finding hope and opportunity through education; a recovering addict achieving her dream of graduating from college; a grandmother raising grandchildren with the hope of achieving a more secure future for her family.
Research shows women are less likely to have enough money in the second half of their lives because of lower earnings and different work patterns. AARP Foundation created the Women's Scholarship Program in August 2007 to help older women overcome financial and employment barriers by allowing them to participate in education and training opportunities they otherwise could not afford. In 2010, more than $450,000 in educational scholarships was awarded to 200 women nationwide.
Priority is given to women in three categories:
* Those who are raising the children of another family member
* Those in low-paying jobs with no career opportunities and who are lacking a retirement benefit and/or health insurance
* Those who have been out of the work force for more than five year
Scholarships may be used for any course of study at an accredited public or private school, including a community college, four-year university or technical school. The money, which is payable to the institution, may be used to pay for tuition, fees and books. Graduate students are discouraged from applying.
Scholarship winners are chosen by an independent selection committee established by AARP Foundation. Selections are on the basis of financial need, personal circumstances and achievements, educational goals, and the likely impact of the scholarship on the women's lives, their families and communities.
The scholarship program is made possible by AARP Foundation with generous support from the Wal-Mart Foundation and AARP.
Beginning Feb. 1, 2011, interested applicants can return to AARP.org to complete their application online. The application process closes March 31, 2011. Scholarship winners will be announced in the summer.

Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarships
Competition for entry in 2011-12
If you are applying to Warwick for a PhD (or MPhil/PhD) starting in 2011-12, and you are an outstanding academic candidate, you might wish to also apply for a Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarship (WPRS) to fund your studies. It's worth preparing now - planning early is an essential factor in success in this very competitive process.
The Scholarship
Warwick Graduate School is delighted to offer around 45 Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarships this year, which include:
* The payment of academic fees at the Home/EU rate (£3,466 for full-time students in 2010-11)
* A maintenance grant in line with the UK Research Council stipend (£13,590 for full-time award holders in 2010-11)
Students and applicants who wish to apply for an AHRC doctoral award should apply to the WPRS competition and will automatically be considered for both competitions. More details on applying for an AHRC doctoral award are available here.
This competition, unlike most postgraduate funding, is open to Home, EU, and Overseas students from all disciplines at Warwick, and offers an equal award to all.
Overseas Applicants
The WPRS pays academic fees at the Home/EU rate, so overseas students awarded a WPRS will need to fund the difference between the Home/EU fee rate and the Overseas fee they will be required to pay. Occasionally, academic departments may be able to assist in funding the difference, entirely at their discretion and as their budget allows.
However, all eligible overseas students applying for entry in October 2011 will also be considered for a Chancellor's International Scholarship, which pays the full overseas fee, by using a single application for both competitions. Details of how to apply are given below; details on eligibility for a Chancellor's International Scholarship are given here.
Applications welcomed from:
* Applicants for a full-time doctoral course at the University of Warwick, expecting to begin in Autumn 2011.
* Students currently enrolled on a three-year full-time PhD or MPhil/PhD (in the case of the Faculties of Arts, Medicine and Social Science), at the University of Warwick may apply in the first year of their registration only.
* University of Warwick students currently registered on a "1+3" course at a Doctoral Training Centre, who are in their Master's year and expecting to start doctoral study in 2011-12. These students will be eligible for a three-year WPRS or (if paying overseas fees) a Chancellor's International Scholarship.
* University of Warwick students currently registered on the “2+2” MPhil > PhD course in the Department of Philosophy may apply for a postgraduate research scholarship in either (or both) the first and second years of their MPhil. Students applying in the first year will be eligible for a three year WPRS or (if an overseas fees-payer) a Chancellor’s International Scholarship. Students applying in their second year will be eligible for a two year WPRS, or (if a UK or EU student) a two year AHRC doctoral award, or (if an overseas fees-payer) a Chancellor’s International Scholarship. No student will be permitted to apply for a WPRS/Chancellor's International Scholarship on more than two occasions. UK or EU Students will be eligible to apply (via a separate process) for an AHRC Master’s award to fund their two-year MPhil.
Applicants must have obtained or be expected to obtain at least an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) from a recognised institution of higher education before 31 July 2011. Many disciplines (particularly in the Arts and Social Science Faculties) may also expect you to hold or expect to obtain a Master's degree as preparation for a PhD.
Applications are open to students from all disciplines currently represented at the University of Warwick.
Only one application per applicant per round is permitted, i.e. it is not possible to apply for a PhD in more than one department and seek a WPRS (or Chancellor's International Scholarship or AHRC doctoral award) for both.
Application deadline:
The competition will open for applications on 1 November 2010 and close on 31 January 2011.
No late applications will be accepted.
If you have questions not answered here, please email graduateschool@warwick.ac.uk. Please note we can advise on eligibility and preparation but we cannot give a preliminary assessment of your chances of succes.

If you are applying to Warwick for a PhD (or MPhil/PhD) starting in 2011-12, and you are an outstanding academic candidate, you might wish to also apply for a Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarship (WPRS) to fund your studies. It's worth preparing now - planning early is an essential factor in success in this very competitive process.
The Scholarship
Warwick Graduate School is delighted to offer around 45 Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarships this year, which include:
* The payment of academic fees at the Home/EU rate (£3,466 for full-time students in 2010-11)
* A maintenance grant in line with the UK Research Council stipend (£13,590 for full-time award holders in 2010-11)
Students and applicants who wish to apply for an AHRC doctoral award should apply to the WPRS competition and will automatically be considered for both competitions. More details on applying for an AHRC doctoral award are available here.
This competition, unlike most postgraduate funding, is open to Home, EU, and Overseas students from all disciplines at Warwick, and offers an equal award to all.
Overseas Applicants
The WPRS pays academic fees at the Home/EU rate, so overseas students awarded a WPRS will need to fund the difference between the Home/EU fee rate and the Overseas fee they will be required to pay. Occasionally, academic departments may be able to assist in funding the difference, entirely at their discretion and as their budget allows.
However, all eligible overseas students applying for entry in October 2011 will also be considered for a Chancellor's International Scholarship, which pays the full overseas fee, by using a single application for both competitions.

Students applying in their second year will be eligible for a two year WPRS, or (if a UK or EU student) a two year AHRC doctoral award, or (if an overseas fees-payer) a Chancellor’s International Scholarship. No student will be permitted to apply for a WPRS/Chancellor's International Scholarship on more than two occasions. UK or EU Students will be eligible to apply (via a separate process) for an AHRC Master’s award to fund their two-year MPhil.

the Horace Mann – Abraham Lincoln Fellowship
Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer, Illinois state legislator and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives before being elected our 16th president. While he was born in Kentucky, he spent most of his political life in Illinois’ capital city of Springfield. And now thanks to our partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, we’re giving you a chance to walk where Lincoln walked.
We will select 50 educators from around the country to participate in the Horace Mann – Abraham Lincoln Fellowship program. Fellows will tour various historical sites, including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln’s New Salem State Historic Site, Lincoln’s home, Lincoln’s tomb and the Old State Capitol State Historic Site. Educators will also hear from experts on Lincoln’s life and the Civil War era.
The online application process for the Horace Mann – Abraham Lincoln Fellowship program opens June 24, 2010 and closes at 8 a.m. CST on February 12, 2011. Applications should include a resume and answers to two, 250-word maximum essay questions. This year’s essay questions are:
1. Abraham Lincoln was known for his bipartisanship. How can a better understanding of incoln’s ability to work with “rivals” help you teach?
2. The Civil War is a significant part of Abraham Lincoln’s legacy and America’s history. January 2011 will mark the 150th anniversary of the conflict. In your opinion, what are the most important issues of the war? How did Lincoln address them and how did his action affect the Union?
