OAS holds Scholarship Selection Meeting for Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD Programs
September 12, 2013
High level experts from the Academic and Technical Studies Scholarship Selection Committee (ATSSSC) met in Washington DC, on September 9-11, 2013 to review, evaluate and rank hundreds of scholarship applications for the Organization of American States (OAS) Academic Scholarship Program.
This Program, one of the oldest in the Organization and in the hemisphere, provides opportunities for access to quality higher education to citizens selected through a highly competitive process who, in turn, will better contribute to the economic, social and democratic development of their communities and countries. Following the initial review, the OAS Secretary General, José Miguel Insulza will receive recommendations from the Committee about prospective candidates to be awarded scholarships for the 2014-2015 academic cycle.
The role of the Selection Committee is to review and rank the 127 pre-selected candidates following comprehensive criteria that combine country needs and training priorities, as established in the Strategic Plan for Partnership for Integral Development 2006–2009, and the merits and overall credentials of the candidate, including academic and professional background and their financial need. Equitable geographic distribution and special consideration for the greater needs of the smaller and relatively less developed economies is also taken into account during the selection process. Scholarship awardees will be announced in late October or early November 2013.
OAS member countries have recognized the immense contribution to regional development made by the recipients of over 20,000 scholarships granted for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral studies abroad through the OAS Academic Scholarship Program. The Program is considered unique in these difficult financial times as it continues to offer scholarships for up to two years to obtain undergraduate or graduate degrees or to perform research to complete a degree. It promotes intercultural networks and regionalization by supporting individuals who will study outside their sponsoring countries and who are required to return home upon completion of their studies in order to use the knowledge gained to contribute to the development of their country. The ATSSSC Committee guarantees a fair and transparent competition and brings its expertise and professionalism to ensure the highest impact of the OAS Academic Scholarship Program for member states.
