SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME, OXFORD UNIVERSITY

Launched in 2007, the programme aims to cultivate the leaders of tomorrow primarily from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East and North Africa by providing outstanding university graduates and young professionals with the opportunity to pursue graduate studies at the University of Oxford.
Scholars also participate in a comprehensive programme of leadership-skills development, long-term mentoring and networking (including work-placements, pro-bono projects and involvement in a high-level speaker and seminar series). The scheme was expanded for the 2008/09 academic year to include five scholarships for early- to mid-career professionals intending to work in the public and third sectors from the United States. The programme is managed by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a London-based policy organisation (for contact details, see below). The scholarship is tenable only at the University of Oxford.
