Atlantic Fellowships in Public Policy

The Atlantic Fellowships in Public Policy provide a unique opportunity for outstanding mid-career professionals to study and gain practical experience in a wide variety of public policy areas in the United Kingdom, as well as a first-hand introduction to the European Union.

Approximately 10 awards are made to U.S. citizens each year, and Fellows spend between 6 and 10 months in the U.K. They are based with a host institution, but encouraged to travel widely within the U.K. They are invited as a group to visit the European Commission in Brussels, and arrangements are made for Fellows to meet U.K. policy makers in the field of study.

The program is managed by the British Council on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Application deadline for fellowships beginning in late August 2002 is December 10, 2001.

For further information and application see: www.britishcouncil-usa.org/exchanges/atlantic.shtml.

Tuition Assistance Program: Direct Grants

Scholarship checks will automatically be processed for the Winter/Spring term beginning November 16. The amount of the scholarship will remain the same as the amount received for the Fall term.

Please contact Tony DeLong at Human Resources--Benefits (215) 898-4812, e-mail: Delong@hr.upenn.edu by November 10 if the student is changing schools, will not be enrolled for the Winter/Spring term, or if the tuition amount will be different. With this notice, we can assure a more timely and accurate scholarship check.

Please note that students who are attending Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) will need to submit a copy of the itemized tuition bill for the Spring term. The billing system at CCP does not coincide with our payments, which in the past has caused students to lose classes.
