English professor helps students study abroad

NEWS RELEASE
PUBLIC INFORMATION DEPARTMENT
PO Box 567, Buies Creek, NC 27506
Tel: (910) 893-1224 w Fax: (910) 893-1922

After many discussions with the Student Government Association and the approval of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Donna Waldron, assistant professor of English for Campbell University, has been named director of the Study Abroad program. As director, Waldron enables students to take classes around the world.
“It is an individually focused program allowing students to go where they have dreamed of going and to do what they have dreamed of doing,” said Waldron.
Through the program, “Australearn,” junior social science/education major Allison Ackerman is traveling to Brisbane, Australia, in the fall to study religion, history and social sciences.
“Dr. Waldron was my professor last semester and when I went to her office to hand in a paper, I saw the information about study abroad,” said Ackerman. “While in Australia I will be taking courses in my major, as well as elective courses that will broaden my educational background.”
Waldron has seen a steady trickle of students interested in the programs come to her office and recommends making an appointment to discus the different options. She advises students who are juniors or seniors to plan now and apply for financial aid.
“The prices of the programs are comparable to a semester at Campbell,” said Waldron. “The housing varies and depends on each program. Students should not assume they cannot afford it.”
Arcadia University serves as a third party provider with internships mostly in Europe and Australia. A student can earn anywhere from three to 18 credits in a variety of fields ranging from anthropology to Women’s Studies. Waldron said the best way to land an internship out of the country is to apply and send resumes early.
Waldron is currently planning a summer trip to Costa Rica for those students needing Spanish and biology credit. Assistant Professor Dr. John Bartlett and associate professor Dr. Debora Weaver of Biological Sciences are also making the journey. There religion, Latin American history and environmental science classes will be taught.
Georgia Martin from the Theater Arts Department in association with Waldron is planning a British literature and theater class in London in the summer of 2007.Dr. Waldron’s main goal is to provide a trip for the students that will meet their individual needs.
“I want to counsel and coach their dreams,” said Waldron. “My goal is to offer something to everyone in each department of the College of Arts and Sciences for those students in good academic standing.”

Arizona student awarded Ashado Scholarship

Kristen Geary of Benson, Arizona, was presented with the Ashado Scholarship by the champion's former owners Jack and Laurie Wolf of Starlight Stables and Paul Saylor during the Kentucky Oaks (G1) day card on May 5 at Churchill Downs.

Geary will attend Arizona State University in the fall and will purse a degree in animal sciences, with the goal of a doctorate in equine reproduction.

The Ashado Scholarship is a four-year scholarship for a female college student studying an equine-related subject. The student must be the child of a working member of the equine industry.

"There were so many great candidates to choose from for the Ashado Scholarship, it was a very hard decision," said Saylor, who with Johns Martin established the scholarship. "After spending time with Kristen, we find she has exceeded expectations on all counts, and we are all excited about our choice for this year's candidate."

The Race for Education, in its fourth year of operation, is a nonprofit national scholarship foundation established to provide advanced educational opportunities in the equine industry for qualified applicants.

Ashado won the 2004 Kentucky Oaks en route to the Eclipse Award as champion three-year-old filly. The Saint Ballado filly was also champion older female of 2005. The winner of 12 of 21 career starts and an earner of $3,931,440, she is currently in foal to Storm Cat.

If bursaries are available for a programme, all applications are automatically considered. If you are awarded a bursary, you will be notified shortly after we have processed your application by letter and by email.

[Singapore] National university of Singapore: ASEAN Undergraduate Scholarship (AUS)

The ASEAN Undergraduate Scholarship (AUS) are offered by the National University of Singapore (NUS) to award full-time NUS undergraduates who have outstanding academic merit and co-curricular activities. AUS is awarded to freshmen based on academic merit. These freshmen must be citizens or permanent residents of a member of ASEAN*. Singapore citizens are ineligible to apply for the AUS. Candidates will be considered and shortlisted for interviews through their application for admission to NUS. No separate scholarship application is required.

  2. The scholarship does not carry a bond. However, tuition fees at NUS have been subsidised by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) through the MOE Tution Grant Subsidy. The MOE Tuition Grant Subsidy is not covered under the scholarship scheme. The MOE Tuition Grant Subsidy carries a bond for students who are not Singapore citizens. All Singapore permanent residents and international students taking up the MOE Tuition Grant Subsidy are required to work with a Singapore-registered company of their choice for three years upon graduation. Due to the higher fees and subsidies for the Dental and Medical courses, students in these courses are obliged to work for a longer bond period of five and six years respectively.

  5. The University does not provide any assistance towards travel or other costs nor does it guarantee employment for the scholar upon graduation.

  7. If the scholar decides to terminate the scholarship prematurely, the university reserves the right to impose a repayment on a case-by-case basis.
Application and shortlisting Procedure

  2. Shortlisted candidates will be informed by 30 June of the year of admission.

  3. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of competition among eligible candidates. Shortlisted candidates will be notified by email for a scholarship interview.

Japan Airlines Scholarship 2006

We are inviting those university students from Asia and Oceania who want to make acontribution to society ,care about the environmental issues and have an interest in Japan, to come to Japan.

Main Theme

What makes a truly prosperous society Co-existence And cooperation for the future of Asia and Oceania.

Aims

In this day and age where information travels across the world in an instant and events are quickly shared, we are often presented with situations that seemingly cannot be understood or dealt with in conventional manners. In response to this, there is a growing need to look towards new models of society, changing established conventions, and seeking new ideas and ways of communicating.


Each year a different theme is dealt with in the JAL Scholarship Programme. In 2004 the participants looked at what is necessary to realize a society suitable for the 21st Century by striving to be globally minded citizens able to think and act on global scale. In 2005, the participants looked at the effects of globalization, recognizing the merits and demerits of this movement, while envisioning the ideal way for it to proceed.

In 2006 the scholars will consider what "true prosperity" is, while approaching the concept by examining various realities and issues. Through the process we hope this year`s participants will realize that they individually have the power and ability to be a driving force to direct the 21st century in a positive direction. We aim to make the JAL Scholarship Programme a setting for: recognizing and accepting diversity, increasing mutual understanding, and creating friendships. Together as members of the Asia Oceania region we will consider what is necessary for, and what can be personally done to realize "truly prosperous societies".
