Tahun lalu, kawan saya diterima Aga khan Scholarship di Inggris, meski dari
Indonesia. Jadi info2 selanjutnya tentang Aga Khan (nama2 negara yg ada
afiliasinya dengan Aga Khan ), mungkin, tidak harus diperhatikan. Semoga sukses
buat yang ingin mencoba

AGA KHAN SCHOLARSHIPS
The Aga Khan Foundation provides a limited number of scholarships each year for
postgraduate studies to outstanding students from developing countries who have
no other means of financing their studies. Scholarships are awarded on a 50%
grant : 50% loan basis through a competitive application process once a year in
June or July. The Foundation gives priority to requests for Masters level
courses but is also willing to consider applications for PhD programmes, when
doctoral degrees are necessary for the career objectives of the student.
Requests will also be considered for travel and study awards for PhD students
doing their research in Third World countries on topics judged to be of
interest to the Aga Khan Development Network.
Applications for short-term courses are not considered; neither are
applications from students who have already started their course of study.
Selection Criteria. The main criteria for selecting award winners are: l)
excellent academic records, 2) genuine financial need, 3) admission to a
reputable institution of higher learning and 4) thoughtful and coherent
educational and career plans. Candidates are also evaluated on their
extra-curricular interests and achievements, potential to achieve their goals
and likelihood to succeed in a foreign academic environment. Applicants are
expected to have some years of work experience in their field of interest.
Preference is given to students under 30 years of age.
Financial Assistance:
The Foundation assists students with tuition fees and living expenses only. The
cost of travel is not included in AKF scholarships. Applicants are requested to
make every effort to obtain funding from other sources as well, so that the
amount requested from the Foundation can be reduced to a minimum. Preference is
given to those who have been able to secure some funding from alternative
sources.
Loan Conditions:
Half of the scholarship amount is considered as a loan, which must be
reimbursed with an annual service charge of 5%. A guarantor is required to
co-sign the loan agreement. The payback period is five years, starting six
months after the study period funded by the Aga Khan Foundation.
Funding notes:
The Foundation accepts applications from countries where it has branches,
affiliates or other AKDN agencies which can help with processing applications
and interviewing applicants. At present, these are Bangladesh, India, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique,
Madagascar, France, Portugal, UK, USA and Canada.

Administrative contact and how to apply:
The application procedures are decentralised. Students may obtain application
forms as of January 1st each year from AKF offices or Aga Khan Education
Services / Boards in their countries of current residence. Completed
applications should be returned to the agency from which the form was obtained,
or to the address indicated on the front of the form. They should not be sent
to Geneva. The deadline for submission of applications is March 31.
Applicants should be prepared to be interviewed by local Scholarship Committees
about their financial situation, their academic performance, extra-curricular
achievements and career plans. Interview reports are sent with the applications
to Geneva for the final selection.
The annual Scholarship Selection Meeting takes place in late June or early July
and the Aga Khan Foundation notifies all students of the outcome of their
application shortly thereafter.

Application deadline: 31 March 2007
