Canadian Francophonie Scholarship Program.

Overview

The Canadian Francophonie Scholarship Program (CFSP) is a scholarship program designed to build institutional capacities by training employed nationals from developing countries of La Francophonie.

The program is entirely funded by the Government of Canada, which has entrusted the management of the program to the consortium Canadian Bureau for International Education / World University Service of Canada since January 1st, 2015.
Objective

The long-term goal of the program is to promote the development of recipient countries by giving priority to:

Training of trainers, particularly in the field of technical and vocational education
Improving the skills of college and university personnel in the field of education and research
Increasing and strengthening the skills of specialists and managers in the public and private sectors

Selection process

Candidates are selected by using a quota system for each recipient country. The quota approach allows recipient countries to define their own priorities for training, as well as the level of training required for the development of their institutions.
Eligibility

Institutions targeted by recipient countries conduct internal recruitment campaigns to identify qualified candidates who show the greatest aptitude for helping strengthen their institution’s capacities when they return to their country.

Candidates identified and selected may apply for university studies leading to a master’s and doctoral degree, for technical and vocational training, or for short-term internships.

Clinical training in pharmacy, medicine and dentistry is excluded.
Application process

Candidates must hold a key position so that the knowledge they acquire will benefit the capacity building of their institution.
Evaluation of applications

A local advisory committee formed by representatives of various ministries selects candidates in their country. The accredited Canadian diplomatic mission acts as observer to ensure transparency of the selection process.

The local advisory committee takes into account the candidates’ jobs in the sector or institution to be strengthened and the level of academic excellence as defined by host institutions. An equal number of applications by gender and country is required, and fluency of candidates in spoken and written French is also mandatory.

Final admission to college or university is the sole responsibility of the relevant institution, and the scholarship becomes effective only when the candidate is admitted to the educational institution.

Successful Scholarship Application Tips.



The following are some scholarship do’s, don’ts and tips that I believe students can benefit from adopting into their scholarship search routine.
Scholarship Application Do’s:
Start the scholarship search process sooner than later.

If you’re debating on when to start applying, the time is now. You can apply for scholarships you qualify for as early as you’d like and the rule of thumb is always the earlier, the better.

The process can often be very slow, so be patient and continue applying to new scholarships while waiting to hear back from those you’ve already applied to.
Apply for scholarships in different categories.

Don’t limit yourself to one type of scholarship. Balance it out, applying for any merit, athletic, and artistic scholarships you qualify for.

You can learn more about the different types of scholarships here.
Include letters of recommendation.

A good letter of recommendation can make all the difference in your scholarship application. Make sure that the letters you include are relevant and that you are confident in the person writing the letter for you – there is nothing worse than a lousy rec letter!

Also, give the person writing the letter significant time and a copy of your student resume so that they can easily reference your student activities.
Scholarship Application Don’ts:
Don’t count out scholarships with lower award amounts.

Some students only apply for scholarships with significantly large award amounts. The problem with that methodology is that you are going to have a lot more competition than with lower scholarship amounts.

Whatever you can do to decrease your competition will be in your favor, so applying for all award amounts is a good way to ensure that you have a better chance of winning.

Remember, there is no limit to how many scholarships you can apply for or win, so winning several smaller awards can really add up and serve the same purpose – paying for school – as one large award.
Don’t become discouraged if you don’t win right away.

It’s important to keep in mind that applying for scholarships is a numbers game. The more you apply to, the better your chances of winning – so apply for as many as you qualify for. There are millions of scholarships and they are refreshed daily, so don’t give up if your efforts aren’t rewarded immediately.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult at times to win a scholarship, and not everyone is guaranteed to win one. It’s vital that you never give up applying for scholarships – because then you’re guaranteed to never win one.
Don’t avoid scholarships that require essays.

Many students avoid scholarships that require essays and, for those that are strong writers, focusing on those opportunities can be a smart decision. Yes, they do take more effort but once you have several essay applications under your belt, the process gets easier.

Why discard an essay after putting in hard work, time and effort ? Many essays can be re-purposed (once edited) and applied to future applications and can save you time in the end.

However, don’t just resubmit the same essay – make sure to edit it for each new scholarship essay question!
Tips for Winning Scholarships
Apply early and apply often!

It’s common sense that the more scholarships you actively seek to win, the better your odds are of winning. Cast a wide net – applying for as many scholarships as you’re matched to will make all the difference in winning one.
Stay organized, keeping deadlines in mind!

Always aim to complete your applications before the deadline so that you have plenty of extra time to fix your application should any issues occur. Application deadlines aren’t suggestions – they are final. Keep a calendar that outlines your application deadlines.

Never wait until the deadline to submit your application – apply as early as possible.
Make a scholarship application schedule and stick to it.

Set aside a specific time that you’re going to focus on applying for scholarships. It can be one night a week, an hour each day or whatever works with your schedule.

When the designated time rolls around, focus your efforts solely on your scholarship applications to ensure that you follow through with the process.
Beware of Scholarship and Financial Aid Scams

Familiarize yourself with the warning signs for scholarship and financial aid scams. They’re easier than you think to spot! Here are some scholarship scam warning signs you should be aware of:

• Fees: True scholarships are there to aid you, not the other way around so never pay to apply for scholarships or financial aid.

• Guarantees You’ll Win: Legitimate scholarship sponsors will never guarantee that you’ll win. If an offer is guaranteed, it’s exactly as it seems: too good to be true.

• You’re already a winner! You didn’t apply, yet you’ve won. Legitimate scholarship offers are those you need to put effort into winning through the application process – you aren’t just awarded money for no reason.

• Personal Information Requests: A legitimate scholarship sponsor will never request personal information that you shouldn’t be giving out, like your social security number. If you’re ever uncomfortable with the type of information requested, it’s likely not a legitimate offer.

• Missing Sponsor Information: When a scholarship sponsor is legitimate, you will always be able to access their contact information in some form. If it seems like a “don’t call us, we’ll call you” type of situation, look at it as a red flag for a scam.

Heinz-Kühn-Foundation Scholarships for Young Journalists from Developing Countries.

The aim of the Heinz-Kühn-Foundation is to support the training and professional development of junior journalists.

The foundation awards scholarships to young journalists from North-Rhine-Westphalia for six-week or three-month reporting trips in developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The foundation also provides funds to enable candidates from developing countries to gain professional journalism experience in North-Rhine-Westphalia for up to three months.

Heinz-Kühn-Foundation scholarships are intended to enable junior journalists to further their professional development and continue training in new surroundings, and to gain a first-hand and in-depth knowledge of the customs, opinions and way of life in other countries.
Who is eligible?

Young journalists from North-Rhine-Westphalia and developing countries are eligible for a scholarship if they satisfy the following requirements:

have a keen interest in development issues;
have already gained substantial professional experience in journalism (a completed college education is desirable);
are not older than 35 years of age; and,
have a good command of the official language of their host country (candidates from abroad must at least have a basic knowledge of the German language).

What does the scholarship include?

Scholarship holders get

a lump-sum contribution towards living expenses in the host country (with scholarship payments covering training and living expenses in the host country);
a lump-sum allowance for flight and travelling expenses (the foundation pays a return air ticket for candidates from abroad);
an allowance to cover costs of research materials (e.g. literature);
an allowance for trips within the host country; and,
(if neccessary, for scholarship holders from abroad) a German language course of up to four months at the Düsseldorf or Bonn based Goethe-Institut.

In the lead up to the scholarship and throughout the duration of the scholarship, the Heinz-Kühn-Foundation will provide support.
What are the obligations of German scholarship holders?

Scholarship holders from North-Rhine-Westphalia have to determine and agree with the foundation a plan for their training and professional development in their host country and to follow this plan during the scholarship to the best of their ability. They also undertake to submit a detailed report of their stay in the host country within six weeks of completing the scholarship. All reports from scholarship holders are published in the yearbook of the Heinz-Kühn-Foundation.
How to apply

Journalists who meet the requirements for a scholarship should first contact the foundation to discuss possible host countries and their topics of interest.

Applications for the following year must be received by 30 November.
