Sophie Germain Master’s Scholarships – Foundation Jacques Hadamard

September 18, 2021

The Mathematics Foundation Jacques Hadamard (FMJH) is offering scholarships for a period of one or two year(s) for French and foreign students. The institutions members of the FMJH are supporting the Master «Mathematics and applications». The Sophie Germain Scholarships are intended for students who want to enrol in one of the programs (apart from the track «Formation à l’Enseignement Supérieur en Mathématiques») of this master.

A jury selects the laureates applying the criteria defined by the Scientific Council of the FMJH, the main selection criterion being excellence. Since this program aims to encourage young talents to orientate themselves towards research in mathematics, applicants are asked to give careful attention to the writing of their motivation letter in their file.

Two calls per year

Each academic year, two calls are successively launched for the upcoming year:

The first call is from October to January 31st and concerns generally overseas students (outside of Europe) for whom it is necessary to engage in applying for visa.
All information on Campus France

The second call is from February to May 1st and concerns more generally EU citizens (Espace Schengen) and the overseas students who already have a residence permit in France valid for the whole academic year.

All applications will be considered

The above priorities are only recommendations. Every application will be evaluated impartially, regardless of the geographic origin of the applicant.

If an applicant applies for more than one programme, they may be offered this scholarship multiple times (once per eligible programme), but the scholarship will only be awarded once.

Assessment of transfer credits will take place upon programme application.

Deferral of the scholarship is not normally possible.

* Australian citizens and permanent residents may be eligible for this scholarship if they are unable to reside in New Zealand at the time of study, as they would then be subject to paying international fees.

400 Russian Government Scholarship for International Students, 2022

By

September 17, 2021

Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project is your chance for early admission to a tuition-free program at one of the leading universities in Russia.

New this year are the availability of the doctoral track in all subject areas, and the preliminary entry tests. Registration closes on December 10

The Open Doors International Olympiad is starting for the fifth time! Depending on the chosen direction, the winners of the Olympiad will be able to enroll for free in the master’s or postgraduate programs of their chosen University. Participants of the doctoral track will be able to choose a future research supervisor and pass an interview with them during the Olympiad.

Participation in the Olympiad and further education at the University are possible in Russian or English.

This year there are 14 subject areas available, same as last year. The crucial difference is that the doctoral track is now available in ALL of them instead of just six.

Foreigners from ANY country can participate in the Olympiad, as well as compatriots permanently residing abroad and stateless persons. Participants of the master’s track must have a bachelor’s or specialist’s degree or be completing an appropriate level of education in 2022. Participants of the doctoral track will need a specialist’s or a master’s degree.

Additionally, to be allowed to participate, you’ll have to pass a short test in each of your selected subject areas. We designed it to make a preliminary evaluation of your knowledge level and get you acquainted with the Olympiad’s interface. If you are unable to pass this test in five attempts, you won’t be able to start filling in your portfolio and participate in the Olympiad.

Both master’s and doctoral tracks include 2 rounds that are held online. The first round is a portfolio competition. Those who have been successfully selected after the evaluation of the portfolios are invited to take part in the second round – the Olympiad itself, which is a series of proctored online tests.

In addition to those two rounds, the doctoral track includes one additional round which consists of online interviews with up to three potential research advisors at the participant’s choice. If any of the interviews is successful, the participant chooses a research advisor from among those who gave them a pass.

Subject area programs, demo versions of the second-round assignments and the doctoral track materials, as well as the complete rules, requirements, terms and conditions of participation in the Olympiad are available on https://od.globaluni.ru/en in more detail. Also, check out our renewed FAQ section where we covered all the major inquiries you might have on every stage of the Olympiad.

Please note that currently ALL foreign students are allowed to enter Russia, but each university has its own guidelines on how exactly to do it. Also, if you apply and are accepted as a winner by both Open Doors and Rossotrudnichestvo, you’ll have to choose only one scholarship – getting both is impossible.

Registration is open from September 15, 2021, to December 10, 2021. Previous accounts have been deleted, so If you are a last year’s participant wishing to try again, you’ll have to register again and fill the portfolio anew.
