Closing Date: April 15,2012:

The Open Society Scholarship Programs invite applications for the Global Faculty Grants Program, which offers professional development and research support to faculty in the social sciences and humanities in select countries. Two separate tracks of support are available for eligible scholars:

Track I is devoted primarily to developing the teaching and research expertise of younger faculty with an eye towards encouraging improved course content via improved research and pedagogy.  These fellowships last up to 10 months, are not renewable, and are tenable at universities arranged by program administrators.  

Track II is devoted to helping well-established faculty to pursue research leading to publication at universities outside of their home country.  These fellowships last up to 5 months, and are renewable once, after residence in the home country for a minimum one year.

Consolidation of Student Loan.
