JAMS Foundation Professional Development Studentships

The JAMS Foundation Professional Development Studentships are prestigious awards designed to support individuals pursuing careers in dispute resolution and conflict management. These studentships aim to foster the next generation of mediators, arbitrators, and peacebuilders by providing financial assistance for professional development activities such as training programs, workshops, conferences, and academic courses. Sponsored by the JAMS Foundation, a leading philanthropic organization dedicated to promoting peaceful conflict resolution, these awards are open to candidates worldwide who demonstrate a commitment to the field. Applicants must be enrolled in or accepted to a relevant program, have a clear professional development plan, and show how the funding will enhance their skills and career trajectory. The studentships cover tuition fees, travel expenses, and other costs associated with the chosen activity. Recipients are selected based on their potential to contribute to the field, academic excellence, and the clarity of their goals. This opportunity is ideal for graduate students, early-career professionals, and experienced practitioners seeking to advance their expertise in mediation, arbitration, or restorative justice. The application process typically includes a proposal outlining the intended activity, a budget, and letters of recommendation. Successful candidates join a network of JAMS Foundation alumni who are making a difference in communities worldwide. For full details, visit the Scholarship Union page dedicated to this award.
