Refund of Tuition fees for fellowship holders

If you are one of the fellowship holders of this semester, please take note that you have to go to IPS to collect a letter in order to get the refund of your tuition fees.

I believe most of you just like me, has submitted a letter to IPS at beginning of this semester to ask for refund. However, we only got a receipt from IPS at that time. After a few months I have waited and still have not get the money, I went to IPS and asked about it this morning. The IPS staff took my receipt and gave me a letter, which acknowledge that I’m under a program and ask “Jabatan Bendahari” to refund tuition fees to me.

So, if you are still waiting for your refund, bring your receipt to IPS to collect your letter. However, it is not the end yet. You have to bring a copy of your tuition fees’ receipt and send it to “Jabatan Bendahari” with the letter you collect from IPS to claim for the refund.

Scholarship for International Peace Studies at the University for Peace

The International Peace Studies Dual Campus Master Programme is a shared initiative between the Nippon Foundation and the UN-Mandated University for Peace, in collaboration with Ateneo de Manila University, which aims to provide students from Japan and other Asian countries with an opportunity to pursue a peace studies post graduate degree with a content-based language-training module.

The programme offers support for individuals who do not have a proficient command of English to work in this increasingly common international language and to become comfortable in their professional abilities as they gain academic skills. As part of the programme, students have also the opportunity to apply their academic and practical knowledge through a four-month internship at the end of the Master courses.

Students accepted in the programme will be automatically granted full scholarships provided by the Nippon Foundation. A full scholarship includes: tuition fee, the language module, academic materials, and air travel and living

In this 19-month intensive academic programme, the students undertake courses at Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines as well as at the San José UPEACE headquarters in Costa Rica. It is accomplished in three terms which start at the end of the language-training module. The programme begins in April 2008.

The Dual Campus M.A. programme has been planned primarily for receiving students from several Asian countries where English is not a widely used language, such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Exceptionally, students from other Asian countries may be admitted.

For more information, please visit http://www.upeace.org/academic/masters/sips.cfm
