(Please note that this scholarship scheme will run alongside our existing scholarship scheme for Western Europeans, and our bursary scheme for people from Eastern Europe and the Third World.)
WHAT IS SCHUMACHER COLLEGE? 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. Its short residential courses are attended by people from all over the world, from all ages and backgrounds.
The course programme for January 1999 to September 1999 has been prepared, and scholarship applications are now invited from US citizens for courses during this period. A course list is included at the end of this message. Further details of all courses are available on request. Please send your name, email and postal addresses to: <schumcoll@gn.apc.org>
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.
