There’s a world of new possibilities available through Brock’s Global Scholars Office.

International learning experiences equip young Canadians with the tools and skills to succeed in a rapidly changing, highly diverse and competitive global economy — and there’s no shortage of opportunities available abroad through Brock.

Brock International’s Global Scholars Office connects faculty and students with opportunities for scholarships or research funding around the world.

Below is a list of opportunities currently available to the Brock community:

CONAHEC Faculty Exchange

One of Brock’s newest partnerships, the Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration (CONAHEC) is seeking faculty members to collaborate in the partial design and teaching of a course.

A not-for-profit membership-based network, CONAHEC has about 180 institutional members of higher education in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, as well as a select group of institutions from other parts of the world.

The purpose of this exchange program is to expose students to international faculty members, promote international curricula and joint teaching programs, integrate activities with students from universities in different countries and open doors to possibilities for future collaborations.

Selected candidates will be expected to travel to the partner institution for one week during the Fall 2018 semester.

The deadline to apply is Friday, March 2. More information is available on the CONAHEC website.

Korean Government Scholarship Program

The Republic of Korea has announced the Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP) to promote international exchange in education, as well as fostering mutual friendship amongst the participating countries.

Open to all master’s and PhD fields of study, there are three scholarships available for Canadian applicants under the age of 40.

The value of the scholarships varies depending on the level of degree and field of study.

Research program support is also available for postdoctoral and professor exchange.

Successful candidates will be announced the week of June 20 and expected to arrive in Korea in August for the start of the fall semester.

The deadline to apply is Wednesday, March 21. More information is available on the KGSP website.

Organization of American States Academic Scholarships Program

The Organization of American States (OAS), a group of 35 independent states, has launched its 2018-19 Academic Scholarships Program.

One scholarship will be awarded to a Canadian to study or conduct research at the master’s or PhD level in an OAS member state (excluding Canada) starting in August.

The scholarship is valued at a maximum of $15,000 per academic year with benefits assigned on a case by case basis.

Some of the eligible countries of study include Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, Saint Lucia and the U.S.

The deadline to apply is Wednesday, March 21. More information is available on the OAS website.

Academics Without Borders — call for project proposals

Academics Without Borders’ university network enables member universities, such as Brock, to connect with institutions of higher education in some of the least developed countries in the world.

One of the benefits of Brock belonging to their network is that our faculty, staff and administrators can submit proposals to AWB for projects that fall under their mission.

This call for project proposals is designed to build on established relationships between colleagues at a tertiary institution in a developing country.

The deadline to apply is Friday, March 30. More information is available online.

Any questions regarding the opportunities listed above can be directed to Liv Park in the Global Scholars Office at epark@brocku.ca or x4088.
