Announcing Spring 2012 Glimpse Correspondents Program - $600 travel stipend + one on one editorial mentoring

Gilmpse is excited to announce the launch of Glimpse's Spring 2012 Correspondents Program.

The Glimpse Correspondents Program is an opportunity for students, volunteers, teachers, and travelers who will be abroad for part of 2011 to get their stories and photography published at high-profile publications--and get paid for it.

Powered by Matador, and supported in part by the National Geographic Society, the Glimpse Correspondents Program provides selected writers and photographers with a $600 stipend and one on one editorial training and support in building their portfolio of published work.

Anyone over 18 is eligible, and writers and photographers of all skill and experience levels are encouraged to apply. Selections are made not only on candidates' talents in writing or photography, but also their vision for engaging communities and finding unique stories while abroad, as well as their commitment to developing these stories into polished long-form narratives over the course of the program.

P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship

Announcing an opportunity for substantial financial support for international female graduate or PhD students. The award is called the International Peace Scholarship (I.P.S.) and it is sponsored by a nonprofit organization called P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization). P.E.O. offers five projects, of which I.P.S. is one.

It is our fondest hope that by helping educate future leaders in other countries we can in some small way foster goodwill, understanding and peace in the world.

The scholarship is up to $10,000 and is renewable one time only. Any current female international student (who has at least one academic year remaining upon receipt of the scholarship in May) is eligible. Also, any newly accepted student, even if she has not yet matriculated, is eligible.

Note that the preliminary application must be filed by December 15th. Applications are available at: www.peointernational.org. Click on the link on the left-hand top of the screen entitled About P.E.O. and its Projects; then International Peace Scholarship Eligibility Form pdf. (Note that the form will become available on August 15th.)

Awards are based on a budget, which the International office uses to determine need. If she qualifies, based on need, P.E.O. International will mail her the full application packet. The budget need not be substantiated until after the student is selected to receive the full application. Selected students submit the full application by January 31st. The scholarship is based not only on need, but also leadership qualities and academics.

Feel free to contact the Chair if you have any questions or concerns about IPS.
