OAS AND IE SCHOOL OF LAW LAUNCH FIRST IE-OAS SCHOLARSHIPS
July 1, 2009
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS), through its Human Development Department and the IE Law School signed a Cooperation Agreement to facilitate the participation of students from OAS Member States in three masters programs at this renowned school.
Through the collaboration agreement, the OAS and IE School of Law hope to offer young leaders and entrepreneurs the opportunity to receive a high level of education, while contributing to the development of their own countries.
The program will offer scholarships for up to 11,240 Euros (approximately 16,000 dollars) for the master programs in Business Legal Advice and Business Fiscal Advice; and up to 18,060 Euros (around 25,000 dollars) for the Master of Laws (LL.M) in International Legal Practice, which will cover more than 40 per cent of the tuition cost, with a maximum of two scholarships per year, for any of the programs.
Academic and professional experience and fluency in at least two languages will be the main selection criteria for the applicants. The one-year program masters, taught in English and Spanish, will start in the upcoming month of September in Madrid, Spain.
Those interested in applying will find the call guidelines at the OAS webpage: www.educoas.org or at www.ie.edu/becas. For information requests regarding the programs, please write to [email protected].
The application deadline is July 20th, 2009. For major information about the details of the agreement, contact Cristina Santos at [email protected] or the OAS Human Development Department at [email protected].
IE Law School’s main goal is to educate jurists willing to confront with success the challenges of the global economy and to lead in a responsible manner the transformation of law and of the societies in which they practice.
The IE-OAS scholarship program is an initiative that is part of the OAS’ commitment to meet the demands of the Member States. The initiative recognizes education as one of the main focuses and as a key for the strengthening of democratic institutions, the promotion of development, human potential, equality and the collaboration between communities; which has a positive effect in the economic growth and the eradication of poverty.
