ELS J. Michael Adams Global Education Scholarship Renewed for 2016-2017!
August 21, 2015
Fairleigh Dickinson University (“FDU”) and ELS Educational Services are pleased to announce the renewal of the ELS J. Michael Adams Global Education (“JMA”) Scholarship for the 2016/2017 academic year. This commemorative award was established by ELS in honor of FDU’s sixth president, J. Michael Adams.
J. Michael Adams was dedicated to educating world citizens through global education and creating a vision for FDU set in a world context, both on and off his own university campus. He led the effort to develop the United Nations’ Academic Impact for greater international academic innovation and cooperation, bringing together colleges and universities from around the world.
The J. Michael Adams Global Education Scholarship will honor his memory and help preserve his vision by supporting students as they embark on their journey as global citizens, and contribute to the diversity and internationalism at FDU.
The JMA Scholarship
Students who apply to the ELS English for Academic Purposes program at FDU’s Metropolitan campus in Teaneck, New Jersey and who meet FDU’s academic requirements for conditional admission to any undergraduate or graduate degree program will automatically be reviewed for the JMA Scholarship.
A limited number of students will be nominated by FDU to receive the scholarship for the 2016/2017 academic year. Selection will be based upon academic merit. Each JMA Scholarship recipient will receive a one-time award in the amount of U.S. $7,000 upon completion of the ELS English for Academic Purposes program.
The ELS J. Michael Adams Global Education Scholarship will be paid by ELS Educational Services toward the students’ first semester of attendance at FDU.
JMA Scholarship recipients may benefit further by qualifying for an FDU merit- and need-based International Student scholarship. These scholarships are available to all direct and conditionally admitted undergraduate and graduate students who qualify.
