NISSCHOLARSHIPS Weekly Update Please Read (How to Manage Your Subscription)

Purpose: The purpose of the nissscholarships list is to
post scholarship, funding, conference and publication
announcements related to former Soviet Union (both in the region and in the
US/Europe). This
list is sponsored by the Alliance for Conflict for
Transformation, a US non-profit organization that is
dedicated to transforming conflicts and building peace
at the community, national and international levels
please see www.conflicttransformation.org for more
information

Posting to the List:
Please send all announcements as text messages in the email as attachments
aren't permitted. There are two ways to post, first if you're subscribed to
a list you can
send it directly to the listname such as [email protected]
(substitute the appropriate name) or if you can forward the posting to me at
[email protected] and I will forward it for you.

In your postings if you can be specific as possible, regarding
job/scholarship location, requirements, any restrictions on citizenship for
applicants please try to do so.

Finally the types of postings that are appropriate include job, scholarship,
conference and funding announcements. In addition, requests for
partnerships, or useful websites, publications. Individual requests for
employment and resumes are not appropriate (we do hope to build in a more
interactive section in the new website for the lists in the future)

Donations: As announced recently in the next few months we will be moving to
a fee based subscription service for subscribers from North America and W.
Europe. However we would still like to encourage people worldwide to donate
to support the lists/ACT (donations given now will be credited against
future subscription costs). If you are a regular subscriber to the list, or
have found a job/scholarship we would like to encourage you to make a
tax-deductible donation to the Alliance for Conflict Transformation. Funds
raised will be used to support the maintenance and improvement of the
list/ACT's website and any additional funds raised will be used to support
ACT's programming. Given the high volume of postings to the list we would
like to encourage subscribers to give a suggested minimum of $20 per year if
possible. To make a donation please see:
http://www.conflicttransformation.org/supportact.shtml
There are two ways to donate, one is through a direct
on-line credit card donation (for such donations you
need a US mailing address) or the second is through
sending a check or money order directly to ACT. See
our website for more information).
