The Annemarie Schimmel Scholarship
The Annemarie Schimmel Scholarship The Scholarship was established in honour of Professor Annemarie Schimmel to commemorate her great contribution to culture and poetry in Pakistan and her role as a dedicated woman scholar. It offers the opportunity to do post-graduate study in the United Kingdom to a woman who is committed to make a genuine contribution to her chosen field on her return to Pakistan. Eligibility Schimmel scholars will be chosen for their ability and commitment without discrimination as to religion, caste or creed. Candidates must have a professional degree or they should have completed 16 years of education in a relevant discipline. They must be citizens of Pakistan and have a declared intention to return and pursue a career in Pakistan. Those having a minimum 2 year professional work experience will be given preference. There is no restriction on age, but preference will be given to candidates between the ages of 25 and 40. A genuine need for financial assistance is an essential condition of the scholarship. The candidates must supply adequate evidence that they would not be able to study abroad without financial assistance. Candidates must bear the expenses of air travel. While not a requirement, preference will be given to those candidates who have secured admission to a programme of study at a recognized institution of their choice in the United Kingdom. In the absence of sufficiently qualified candidates, the scholarship committee reserves the right to make no nomination. April 7th 1922 - Jan 26th 2003 Uniqueness of the Scholarship The Scholarship has a reputation for absolute fairness and is extremely generous. It allows candidates to choose from the best and most prestigious institutions of higher learning in Britain. It covers the full cost of tuition and basic living expenses. The selection is based completely on merit but a major consideration is given to the need of that particular degree for Pakistan and the commitment of the scholar to return and serve here. Field of Study Selection will not be restricted to any subject. Preference will be given to traditional humanities or sciences and also to humanitarian fields, such as public health, special education and ancillary medical fields, e.g. physiotherapy and radiography. Studies in economic development, social sciences and modular courses in various disciplines will also be considered. Subjects excluded are journalism, business, management, IT, media, and gender/women’s studies. Candidates wishing to pursue higher learning in areas related to Annemarie Schimmel's scholarship on Islam are encouraged to apply. The course of study can be purely academic or could involve practical training. Prospective candidates are strongly urged to acquire basic computer literacy and word processing skills. Duration The Schimmel Scholarship is awarded for one academic year (session starting Sept/Oct. 2010) for a Master’s degree at recognized institutions of higher education in the UK. Doctoral candidates are not eligible. http://www.amsscholarship.com/ |

Pls be very careful about scholarship scams. There is a 500 fee and only a mobile phone no is given, on which there is no answer after deadline has passed. The person who has posted it has done it in good faith after seeing the newspaper ad but pls be vigilant
