SDPI-IDRC Scholarships to South Asian Students for higher studies in Social Sciences


Dear All
After a very successful first round of IDRC-SDPI Fellowships program in Governance, Security and Justice in South Asia, SDPI-IDRC is going to kick off the program's second and last round of applications for the present phase which will remain open till December 15, 2012.

The program is open to nationals from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal and Pakistan. SDPI will manage these fellowships in South Asia and the program focus is to address research gaps and analytical capacity in issues revolving around degree programs in governance, security and justice.

Applicants are free to apply for Masters, MPhil or PhD programs. For Master's and MPhil, the maximum duration of fellowship will be 2 years while for PhD the maximum duration will be 4 years. Applicants will be assessed on the basis of past academic credentials, extra-curricular achievements, two reference letters from university professors, and a research proposal in the case of MPhil/PhD students. The research proposal should be 3-5 pages long providing details of research objectives, research problem, gaps in past literature, methodology, data sources and expected results. Female students and students from fragile areas and minority groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

Application forms can be found at:  http://isfsa.sdpi.org / and complete applications with required documents should be submitted electronically to [email protected] or can be mailed via post/courier to: Afsheen Naz, Sustainable Development Policy Institute, House # 38, Main Embassy Road, G-6/3, Islamabad, Pakistan.

The program will remain open for receipt of applications until 15th December 2012. The candidates who could not succeed in first round of
applications can also apply again after reworking their applications and research proposals. The program themes and selection criteria, as mentioned in the call for application, is the same. In case of any queries or technical difficulties, please contact Afsheen Naz at  [email protected].

A detailed document is attached which explains the background, thematic focus and related details on this fellowship. Before submitting your applications please read the attached document carefully.  Thus, like for the previous round, I would request you to please circulate this call for applications along with this message among your peers and social/professional groups. Like in the first round, we believe your cooperation will help us receive and solicit applications from some of the most bright and promising students in South Asia.

With Best Regards

Zeshan
