SCHUMACHER COLLEGE, AN INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR ECOLOGICAL STUDIES
is now inviting a second round of applications for scholarships for US
citizens to attend its residential courses in southwest England. Courses are
taught by leading ecological thinkers and writers, such as Fritjof Capra,

Charlene Spretnak, Arne Naess, Rupert Sheldrake, Dr AT Ariyaratne, David
Orr, Sulak Sivaraksa, Martin Khor, Wolfgang Sachs and Keith Ward.
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ECOLOGICAL STUDIES
Funded by the Educational Foundation of America, the scholarships are to
enable US citizens to attend courses between one and five weeks in length at
Schumacher College. The scholarships are for people who can best use the
knowledge they gain at the College to contribute towards a sustainable America.
Schumacher College is an international centre for ecological studies, based
in southwest England, which aims to explore the foundations of a more
sustainable, balanced and harmonious world view.
The course programme for January 1998 to November 1998 has been prepared,
and scholarship applications are now invited from US citizens for courses
during this period. A course programme (in brief) is included at the end of
this message. Please note that course details for courses in the second half
of this period have not yet been prepared, but you can still register your
interest now to receive information at a later date.
Schumacher College wishes to award the scholarships to individuals who are
now or are likely to become influential in their communities. They may be
working or studying in the fields of education, environmentalism, public
administration, journalism/media, community work, or green business.
The College strives to achieve diverse student groups on all courses. The
EFA fund will be used to support this policy, and applications are welcomed
from a wide range of social, ethnic and age groups.
SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION DEADLINES
There is no general scholarship deadline. Scholarship applications must be
made with reference to a specific course, and the deadline for applications
is two calendar months before the particular course starts.
