Government sponsored study abroad programs are one approach to developing the human capital of a country. From our review of the characteristics and outcomes of one long-standing government-sponsored international scholarship program (Kazakhstan’s Bolashak program), we identify five lessons: 1) align the program to countries’ strategic economic development needs, 2) maximize the benefit through the selection of quality destination institutions, 3) ensure transparency, 4) align the economic needs to the level of study programs, and 5) provide incentives for scholarship recipients to return to the home country.

Scholarships are a form of appreciation given to individuals in order to continue their education to a higher level. The scholarship program held to ease the burden on students in pursuing a period of study. Especially in matters of cost. MA Al-Falahiyah Al-Asytari organizes a scholarship program for students based on criteria determined by the school. The need for a scholarship naming decision system is one of the core needs so that the selection of scholarship acceptance is more objective and practical. Development of a Decision Support System (DSS) using the Weighted Product model chosen because it was able to select the best alternatives from several alternatives and their advantages in weighting techniques. In designing the system using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and making applications using PHP and MySQL as a database. From the research the authors have described, it  concluded that the weight product method could use as one method in developing a decision support system for scholarship recipients at the MA Al-Falahiyah Al-Asytari, by inputting data from students who submit scholarships to calculating grades based on criteria which specified.

The authors present findings from their study of how preservice teachers (PSTs) experienced and conceptualized social justice during two study abroad (SA) programs to Honduras and Tanzania. This study examined instructor intentionality (II), the purposefulness on the part of instructors in designing the goals and objectives of study abroad through a selection of context, curriculum, and community engagement. Intentional programming that sought to unfossilize prejudices by providing non-Western-centric curricula was emphasized. In this case study, authors analyzed and interpreted data using a framework for social justice rooted in three components: redistribution, recognition, and representation. The themes discussed in this chapter address (1) the influence of partnerships with community members in the development of social justice curricula; (2) differences across SA programs indicative of multiple approaches to social justice; and (3) various contexts, experiences, and curricula in cultivating social justice-minded educators.

In the process of selection of scholarship recipients is needed a method of decision-making scholarship. One of the methods that can be used for decision support systems is by applying the Fuzzy MADM (Multiple Attribute Decission Making) method. To perform the calculation on this method using SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) method. This method is chosen because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives, in this case the intended alternative is that eligible to receive scholarship based on the criteria specified.

This chapter addresses the findings of a multilayered study regarding perceptions of study abroad coordinators and students related to community college students' decisions to engage in global programs abroad and the factors that motivate their selection of a destination. In-depth interviews of study abroad program coordinators and students from three community colleges located in urban, suburban, and rural areas provided rich and diverse perspectives regarding students' access and engagement in study abroad programs and the reasons that affect their choices of destinations. Findings showed synchronicity and alignment between the study abroad coordinators' and students' perspectives. However, study abroad coordinators revealed that institutional administrators or leaders who have established connections with certain destinations influence program and destination offerings, which in turn broadens or limits students' selection of study abroad choices. Discussions and implications related to community college students, faculty, institutional leaders, and policymakers provide insight on how to make study abroad more accessible to community college students and expand their choice of destination.

AbstractThis paper presents a case study of the Stipendium Hungaricum (SH) scholarship program and contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the characteristics, goals, and outcomes of government-sponsored scholarship programs, which typically feature big players like the US, the UK, Germany, France, and China. The central research question is: “What are the stated goals and expected benefits of the SH from the perspectives of key stakeholder groups?” The study focused on three key stakeholder groups, namely: 1) The Hungarian government and the Vietnamese government; 2) Hungarian higher education institutions (HEIs) hosting Vietnamese scholarship recipients; and 3) Vietnamese SH scholarship recipients. Findings from this study suggest that the SH program is driven by three motives: diplomacy, human capital investment, and internationalization. Although internationalization appears to be the dominant goal, elements of diplomacy and human capital investment are indispensable, especially within the context of bilateral cooperation between Hungary and Vietnam. This purposeful combination has both positive and negative impacts. There is evident frustration among the Hungarian HEIs about the inclusion of Hungarian-language degree programs, which seems inconsistent with their internationalization strategy. Furthermore, there is a question about transparency in recruitment of SH scholarship recipients. The SH is an interesting case study to examine the dynamics of internationalization in Hungarian higher education and the multiple roles of government scholarships sponsored by small/middle-sized countries.

The City

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.
