NFP-Netherland
The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) are demand oriented fellowship programmes designed to foster institutional development. The NFP is initiated and fully funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the budget for development cooperation. This ministry has contracted the Netherlands organization for international cooperation in higher education (Nuffic) to administer the NFP.The overall aim of the NFP is to help alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower and to do so within the framework of sustainable capacity-building directed towards reducing poverty in developing countries.
More specifically, the NFP is focused on meeting the need for further training and capacity-building in developing countries. To maximize the fellowships’ impact on capacity-building, NFP funded training must be linked to the institutional development of organizations. A wide range of organizations are eligible —governmental, private and non-governmental. They can include educational institutions, planning agencies, ministries, community-based organizations, and private enterprises, for example.
For mid-career professionals from organizations in developing countries, the NFP offers the following options:·
Tailor-made training courses ·
Fellowships for PhD studies ·
Refresher courses·
Fellowships for short courses·
Fellowships for master’s degree programmes

Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) provide opportunities for people from selected developing countries to undertake post-secondary level study in Australia.
ADS have replaced most scholarships previously offered by AusAID, namely Australian Sponsored Training Assistance Scholarships (ASTAS) and Australian Development Cooperation Scholarships (ADCOS).

There are two categories of scholarships:
Public sector: Governments in partner countries nominate candidates for the public sector category.
Open/equity: Applicants do not need to be nominated by their Government or employer. Anyone who meets the selection criteria may apply.
You are only eligible for an Australian Development Scholarship if you are a citizen of one of the countries listed below. If your country of citizenship is not listed below and you wish to consider other scholarship opportunities to study in Australia, information is available at http://studyinaustralia.gov.au/Sia/en/StudyCosts/Scholarships.htm
Enquiries about scholarships should be made with the Australian Diplomatic Mission in the country of citizenship.

The foundation supports pluralism and equal opportunity in its grant making and in its internal policies. The opportunities that prospective grantee organizations provide for women and other disadvantaged groups are considered in evaluating proposals.
Applications are considered throughout the year. Normally applicants may expect to receive within six weeks an indication of whether their proposals are within the foundation’s program interests and budget limitations. If the proposal is being considered for a grant, the approval process is generally completed within three months. Activities supported by grants and program-related investments must be charitable, educational or scientific, as defined under the appropriate provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations. The foundation monitors grants through regular financial and narrative reports submitted by the grantee.
The foundation’s funds are limited in relation to the great number of worthwhile proposals received. For example, in 2004 the foundation received about 41,000 grant requests and made 2,091 grants. The foundation directs its support to activities that are within its current interests and are likely to have wide effect. Support is not normally given for routine operating costs of institutions or for religious activities. Except in rare cases, funding is not available for the construction or maintenance of buildings.
