IAEA 2010 Distinguished Student Scholarship

Deadline for receipt of submissions: 22 April 2010.
The IAEA 2010 Distinguished Student Scholarship will support the attendance of one individual at the 2010 IAEA conference to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from Sunday August 22 to Friday August 27. The scholarship will consist of a maximum stipend of $2000 US to cover travel, subsistence, and conference registration costs.  Eligible candidates must be students enrolled full-time in a doctoral degree program in educational measurement or educational assessment, or a closely related field.

To apply, the candidate should send the following information to Randy Bennett: rbennett@ETS.ORG or to: Yoav Cohen: yoav@NITE.ORG.IL

- Name
- Email address
- Postal address including street address, city, state or province, and country
- Graduate Institution
- Name of Graduate Degree Program
- Name of Faculty Advisor

The candidate should also send as electronic attachments
(1) a letter from a faculty advisor attesting to the candidate's academic accomplishments and verifying enrollment as a doctoral student in educational measurement or educational assessment, or a closely related field,
(2) a paper or conference presentation authored or co-authored by the candidate on a topic related to educational assessment, and (3) if available, a written endorsement from a primary or individual member of IAEA.  (The faculty-advisory recommendation and IAEA-member endorsement may be from the same individual if that individual, or his or her institution, is an IAEA member.)  Preference will be given to candidates that present an IAEA-member endorsement.

The IAEA 2010 Distinguished Student Scholarship award will be made based on meeting the eligibility criteria, on the strength of the faculty recommendation, and on the quality and relevance to educational assessment of the submitted paper or presentation.
