IPSI Institute » The Hague Scholarships 2012

 IPSI Financial Aid: A limited amount of financial aid is available to well qualified students from conflict and post-conflict countries.  Financial aid is EXTREMELY competitive, so please ensure you have the proper background before applying.

• Financial aid is solely to reduce the cost of your tuition to The Hague Symposium, and does not include academic credit or travel expenses.
• Financial aid is merit- and need-based, so you will be asked as part of your financial aid application the amount of tuition you can afford to pay to attend the Bologna Symposium.  IPSI’s selection committee will take your financial statement into account when deciding scholarship levels.
• Financial aid applicants are permitted to apply to ONE Symposium per year; if you choose to apply for financial aid to The Hague Symposium, you are not permitted to also apply for the Bologna Symposium.

In order to apply for financial aid, you must meet the following criteria:

• Be between the ages of 22-35;
• Have lived for a significant period of your life in a conflict and/or post-conflict country;
• Currently be working on issues of peace and security in a conflict or post-conflict country;
• Demonstrate why you are uniquely suited to utilize IPSI’s trainings to foster peace and security in your country/region;
• Be willing to “pay” for your financial aid to The Hague Symposium through community organizing, as explained below.

Measurable Results of Funded Students: IPSI knows that results cannot be produced top-down by professionals alone, but are maximized by a concerted joint effort between the recipients and trainers.  If selected for a financial aid, for each week of training you are asked to commit to sharing your newly acquired knowledge and skills for 10 hours in order to empower people in your home community (40 hours for the month-long symposium).  IPSI will provide you with the materials and support necessary to carry-out this commitment, as well as track your progress.
The ripple effects of this payment system in conflict and post-conflict societies are evident:
01 Participant(s)  X  4 Weeks of Training        =          40 hours of Community Impact
10 Participant(s)  X  4 Weeks of Training        =          400 hours of Community Impact
20 Participant(s)  X  4 Weeks of Training        =          800 hours of Community Impact
