John and Mabel de Sardon and Joan de Sardon-Glass Assistantships
This endowed award provides support to nationals of Perú and other Andean region countries that wish to pursue a professional degree at the Maxwell School and then return to public service in their home countries.
Students who are citizens of Andean region countries and have applied to one of the Maxwell professional degree programs may be eligible for this award. Maxwell School graduate professional programs, including executive graduate professional programs, nominate eligible students from their pool of admitted applicants (this award is not available for online programs).
A committee reviews nominations and makes selections based on factors that include: academic program, research interests, past experience and need. Nominations are made annually in March, and awards are offered in April for the upcoming academic year.
In general, an offer will include support for one full professional program. Dual degree seekers are eligible for nomination but will only receive support for one degree.
The full award generally includes a 20-hour per week salaried position as a graduate assistant at the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs during the academic year and tuition credits to support your degree requirements. It may also include a summer stipend.
