Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship for Women from Developing Countries

 The International Peace Research Association (IPRA) is requesting applications for the Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship in Peace and Development Studies for Women from developing countries.

The fellowship is named after Dorothy Senesh who was a long-time activist for international peace and justice. Her husband Lawrence established this fellowship following her death in 1989. The first award was made at the IPRA 25th Anniversary meeting, July 1990, in Groningen, Netherlands and has been made biennially since. The twelfth award will be made at the 24th biennial IPRA meeting in Japan.

The Dorothy Senesh Fellowship is available to women from developing countries who have completed a Bachelor's degree, who have been accepted into a graduate program and whose graduate work is to be focused on issues related to the goals of IPRA. Funds will only be dispersed when the selectedcandidate is admitted into a graduate program. Awards are considered based on need; therefore students with substantial funding sources are less likelyto be considered for the award.

 Applications are due by January 15, 2012. For more information: http://www.iprafoundation.org/senesh2012announce.shtml
