The Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme at the University of Oxford

The Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme is expected to support around 40 Scholars in the 2011-2012 academic year. This Programme, launched in May 2007, offers outstanding postgraduate students and young professionals support for graduate studies at the University of Oxford complemented by a comprehensive leadership development programme. In its first phase this programme has primarily supported scholars from Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. We are delighted to have more recently expanded to include scholars from India from October 2010.

In seeking to cultivate leaders of the future, the Programme selects students and young professionals with clear leadership potential, and a demonstrated commitment to contributing to public life. It offers them the unique opportunity to:

* Pursue fully funded graduate studies at the University of Oxford with no restriction as to the chosen academic field; and
* Participate in a comprehensive leadership programme providing them with:
o The knowledge and skills needed to contribute to public life in, and play a transformational role in the development of, their countries and regions of origin;
o Lasting professional networks across cultures and continents to be drawn on throughout their post-university careers.

As with other scholarships, candidates need to apply through the official University of Oxford application process by mid JANUARY, 2011. Application documents for the 2011-12 academic year will be available from September 2010 onwards. Interested candidates must be accepted by Oxford before being considered for a Weidenfeld Scholarship.

The deadline for applications is the 07 January 2011 for Medical Sciences and Philosophy students, and 21 January 2011 for all other students.
