International Student Scholarships and Financial Aid at Texas A&M University, USA

International students may apply for grants and scholarships if they have demonstrated financial need. Financial need itself does not guarantee that a student will receive a grant or a scholarship. Awards are not designed to meet the student’s entire financial need. They are designed to supplement the student’s other financial resources. This permits limited funds to assist the largest number of students. Grants do NOT include a tuition waiver. Continuing students are eligible to apply, however incoming students are required to show they are able to support themselves for one year while attending Texas A&M University. Incoming students may apply their second year for financial aid.  Late Applications Will Not Be Accepted. If you have any questions regarding the application process or documentation requirements.  To be eligible to apply for the ITPEG, an international student must be enrolled full-time in a degree-granting course of study at Texas A&M University
Eligibility: M.Sc. or equivalent degree in Life Sciences or related fields with two years relevant research experience. Candidates should have practical experience in Molecular/Cell Biology techniques and cell culture. Preference will be given to the candidates with published papers in peer-reviewed journals. The position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the DST-PURSE Programme. The initial appointment will be for one year which can be extended on the basis of the performance of the candidate.

International PhD Scholarship, Lancashire Business School, UK

The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years.
The aim of the research is to investigate and develop a decision-support system (based on RFID, real-time location and wireless communication) capable of informing command and control centres of fire fighters (and other emergency personnel and equipment) that have been despatched to an incident. The system will also allow command and control centres to manage the resources deployed. The work will involve collaboration with some Emergency Services in the UK and the University of Central Lancashire. Although the ultimate goal of the larger research is to develop a robust and versatile system (hardware, firmware and software) that can be deployed in general emergency situations, the aspect that is the subject of this advertisement will focus specifically on applications of the technology to fire services and will address the following tasks and associated challenges:
– Developing a device management and event processing platform/system that integrates the edge (incident frontline) and the back-end (the workflow foundation).
– Development of a management system that will allow the allocation of resources in a mobile and dynamic command and control environment.
– Creating a declarative emergency rules engine for the purpose of inferring, correlating, and executing emergency decisions based on incoming real-time event traffic.
Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a qualification equivalent to a high class UK honours degree.

Scholarship Application Deadline:Friday 13 May 2011 5pm British Summer Time
