Ireland: Different Scholarships At Trinity College Dublin 2010

The Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin offers two unique postgraduate programmes

(1) M.Sc. in Comparative European Politics (the deadline has been extended and applications will be accepted through July 1, 2010)

The M.Sc. in Comparative European Politics offers students an innovative combination of knowledge of politics in contemporary Europe and rigorous research training. This course examines policies, politics and public opinion in the European Union and its member states. The course also equips students with the research training required to conduct independent political research. Therefore, in addition to substantive modules on various aspects of comparative politics, including the governance of the European Union, the course also includes modules on research methods.

(2) M.Sc. in International Politics

This NEW M.Sc. in International Politics offers graduate students a combination of rigorous training in the study of international politics with a comprehensive empirical approach to understanding many prominent problems in contemporary world politics, especially topics where domestic and international politics cannot be understood in isolation from each other. These topics include democratisation, international cooperation, development and foreign aid, international conflict as well as the politics of many environmental issues and their implications for the politics of developing countries. Students will also receive training in research methods.

(2) PhD programme

This is a creative departure from the traditional PhD offered elsewhere in much of Europe and is designed to produce rigorously trained, widely-read and well-rounded political scientists, able to take their place in the forefront of the profession.

The programme combines an intensive set of courses on the substance and methodology of research along with a traditional emphasis on conducting original research. In the first year students follow a number of courses in the qualitative and quantitative aspects of research, a course in political behaviour and comparative politics, which reflects the expertise and interests of most members of the Department, and develop a research proposal for the final thesis.

USA:The Lee-Jackson Foundation Scholarships

Brief Description

The Lee-Jackson Foundation of Charlottesville was founded in 1953 by the late Jay W. Johns, a successful Pennsylvania industrialist transplanted to Virginia, who became a great admirer of Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. He believed that both these Americans possessed distinguished traits of character that should be emulated by future generations.Since both these Virginians were involved in education, the Foundation honors them by working to increase educational opportunities for Virginia's youth. The Foundation has traditionally focused on scholarships as the best vehicle to encourage high school students to continue their education, and sponsors an annual essay competition to make its awards. Scholarships are given for outstanding essays which demonstrate an appreciation of the exemplary character and soldierly virtues of Generals Lee and Jackson. Essays are judged with emphasis on historical accuracy, quality of research, and clarity of written expression.

school juniors and seniors submitting outstanding essays on the career, character, or some other aspect
of the life of either General Robert E. Lee or General "Stonewall" Jackson, or both.

Three $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to private school or home schooled students whose essays are judged to be the best of those from this sector. A $1,000 bonus scholarship will be awarded to the author of the best essay in this sector.

A $1,000 award will be given to a school in each of the nine judging sectors (eight public school regions
and one private/homeschooled region) in the name of the high school teacher or advisor who sponsors themost participating students in that sector.

The student should not have received a Lee-Jackson scholarship in the past and must be a resident of Virginia who plans to attend an accredited four-year college or university in the United States as a full-time student. Students who intend to enroll in a community college must plan to enroll in the college transfer program of the community college. The contestant should demonstrate the natural ability to succeed in college and have a sincere desire to attend. Financial need is not a requirement.
