A scholarship is awarded for one year of study

Study Subject: Arts
Employer: Flexographic Technical Association
Level: Graduate

Scholarship Description: The Foundation of FTA awards scholarships to eligible candidates. Each scholarship awarded will be in the amount of $3,000. Occasionally, the Foundation of FTA will grant scholarship awards (as the funds become available) out of its General Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship recipients will be selected at the next FFTA Annual Forum. Winners will be notified shortly after. Each scholarship award becomes official when the recipient is enrolled in the approved college for the year in which the scholarship has been granted. Alternate winners will receive scholarships only if a primary winner becomes ineligible during the scholarship year.

A scholarship is awarded for one year of study. Renewal is possible provided the scholarship recipient maintains an acceptable scholastic average, and continues in an approved program of study. Scholarship renewal is not automatic. It is the student’s responsibility to apply for a scholarship renewal.

2010 NNPC/ESSO National Postgraduate Scholarship Awards

In continuation of its efforts to provide opportunities for developing careers in the petroleum industry, Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited (EEPNL) awards scholarships to qualified Nigerian graduates who wish to pursue post-graduate studies in Nigerian Universities.

Applications in the underlisted disciplines will be considered:

  • Geosciences
  • Engineering (Chemical, Civil/Structural, Electrical, Electronics, Marine, Mechanical, Petroleum and Sub-Sea)

Essential Requirements:

  1. Must be a graduate of a Nigerian University.
  2. Must possess a Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of second class upper division in any of the Engineering or Geosciences disciplines.
  3. Must have provisional admission into an accredited Nigerian University for postgraduate study (M.Sc or M.Eng) in the 2010/2011 academic session.

The NNPC/ESSO scholarship award applies to tuition, books, accommodation and up-keep expenses for the duration of the selected course of study.

Method of Application

If you are qualified and interested, please visit our scholarship website at:   www.mpn-essoscholarships.com

Closing date for receipt of applications is on or before Tuesday, 9th November 2010.

Shortlisted candidates will be required to come with the original and a photocopy of the following documents for screening prior to taking the qualifying test:

  • Valid Identification Card
  • Bachelor’s Degree Certificate
  • Admission letter for postgraduate study
  • WAEC results
  • University transcripts

Names of short-listed candidates for the qualifying test will be published on the scholarship website and in National Dailies. These candidates will also be contacted with details of the qualifying test via SMS text and email.

Scholarship for Masters and Doctoral students at university of Heidelberg

Scholarship for Masters and Doctoral students at university of Heidelberg

Study Subject: Biology, Bio informatics & Biophysics

Employer:German Cancer Research Institute

Level:Master/ Doctoral

Scholarship Description: Mechanical factors play an important role in many basic biological phenomena on different spatial-temporal scales: from tissues and single cells to sub-cellular structures. The ability of cells to appropriately sense, process and utilize mechanical energy and signals is essential for the normal function of the entire organism. A number of severe disease, such as Cancer and Progeria, is known to be related to altered mechanical properties of the cellular matter. To reveal the mechanisms behind the observed mechanobiological phenomena, we develop novel approaches to quantitative analysis of cellular mechanics using a 3D image- and model-based framework.

Within the scope of the ongoing multidisciplinary project, the relationship between genotype and mechanical phenotype of the cell will be systematically investigated by means of the high-throughput screening of mechanical properties of RNAi-knockdowns. Successful candidate will be given the opportunity to carry out a state-of-the-art research work on an emerging, high-impact area of science between molecular biology, bioinformatics and biophysics. Work will be carried out in the division of Prof. Roland Eils within BioQuant, the Center for “Quantitative Analysis of Molecular and Cellular Biosystems” at Heidelberg University.

We are looking for highly motivated students with the educational background in biological, bioengineering or related areas of science. Previous experience in experimental cell biology, microscopy and computational data analysis is an advantage.

Applications including a cover letter, CV and references (if available) should be submitted as one single PDF.
