The HuaYu Enrichment Scholarship is one of the best opportunities for American students to come to Taiwan to study Mandarin Chinese. It is open to all American students wishing to deepen their understanding of Mandarin language as well as culture, history and contemporary life in Taiwan.

The unifying characteristic of successful applicants is the overall strength of their academic credentials. Of the utmost importance is for students to demonstrate a desire and determination to learn first and foremost.

We recruit outstanding recent college graduates from all backgrounds and career interests to commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools. We provide the training and ongoing support necessary to ensure their success as teachers in low-income communities. Our teachers, also called corps members, go above and beyond traditional expectations to lead their students to significant academic achievement, despite the challenges of poverty and the limited capacity of the school system. In succeeding with their students, corps members show that students in low-income communities can achieve at high levels, offering further evidence that educational inequity is a solvable problem. Corps members are school district employees and thus receive the same salaries and benefits as other beginning teachers. Salaries range from $30,000 to $51,500, depending on the region. Corps members generally receive the same health benefits as other beginning teachers. In addition, AmeriCorps will pay up to 100 percent of the interest that accrues on qualified student loans during corps members' two-year teaching commitment. |

The National Institutes of Health-Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program is an accelerated, individualized doctoral training program for outstanding science students committed to biomedical research. It enables students to undertake a collaborative project in any area of biomedical investigation involving two mentors—one at the NIH intramural campus in Bethesda, Maryland and one at either Oxford or Cambridge University. Students conduct research at both locations and potentially other sites including field work in Africa and elsewhere around the world. All students participate in the enriched environment of the residential colleges of the U.K. Universities and enjoy special educational opportunities that develop their understanding of disease outcomes and policy issues related to their studies. The projects culminate in the award of a D. Phil. or Ph.D. in science from either Oxford or Cambridge.

Fellowship for any 20-something individual who proposes a gutsy and worthwhile adventure anywhere in the world. The winner could be a health educator in Thailand or a ski instructor in Switzerland; the most crucial prerequisite is a passion for something that the 9-5 grind doesn't offer.
NSEP supports outstanding undergraduate and graduate students who demonstrate high levels of academic performance and strong motivation to internationalize their education by developing expertise in the languages, cultures, and world regions less commonly studied by Americans. Applicants must be evaluated by a university committee in late December or early January.
These national scholarships are awarded to well-rounded college students who are committed to community service and education.
Members of Tau Beta Pi with excellent academic records are encouraged to apply for this fellowship which is provided to advance the interest of the engineering profession. Applicants may apply directly for the fellowship. The application deadline is in early January.
Sixty students who excel, not only in scholarship but also in leadership roles on and off campus, are named annually to the First, Second and Third Teams. A key element is the student's most outstanding academic or intellectual product.
The Department of Energy (DOE) sponsors a variety of fellowships for students beginning or about to begin graduate study in the sciences at selected American universities. Fellowships are offered in the following field: applied health physics, civilian radioactive waste management, environmental restoration, fusion engineering, fusion science, health physics, industrial hygiene, and nuclear engineering. GRE scores are required for complete applications. Applications for each program are due in late January.
