Thank You for your comments Ekili. You are correct - the question is how to let organizations know that this is available. I have tried sending a small number of emails directly to organizations that are devoted to the well being of children (a particular interest of mine) but there must be a better way. While the Press Release that was sent to local media here in the New York area did not draw any attention, I wonder if there are media organizations within individual countries that might find this an item worthy of publicity. If you know of any in your country please let me know.
Thank You again.

RE: Resources for postgraduate studies outside of the US

Hello all,
My name is Natalie Kersten and I work for AustraLearn in the field of international education, sending students abroad to universities in Australia and New Zealand for full degree programs. Two great resources I know of are Jason http://www.jason.edu.au/index.pl, a Postgraduate Scholarship Database for Australia, and The University of Minnesota’s External Scholarship Database at http://160.94.154.31:591/LAC/sch/FMPro?-DB=ISTC_Scholarships.fp5&-Lay=WebForm&-Format=sch_entersearch.html&-Find. We have pages on our website as well at www.degreesoverseas.com, that list available scholarships, and provide information on financial aid and loans for graduate students. I hope this helps some. Thank you! |
