Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The *Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme* is expected to 
support up to *40* Scholars in the 2010-2011 academic year.  This 
Programme, launched in May 2007,* *offers outstanding *postgraduate 
students and young professionals,* primarily from* Eastern Europe, 
Russia, Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, *support for 
graduate studies at *Oxford University *complemented by a comprehensive 
leadership development programme.

In seeking to cultivate leaders of the future, the Programme selects 
students and young professional with clear leadership potential, and a 
demonstrated commitment to contributing to public life. It offers them 
the unique opportunity to:

·         Pursue fully funded graduate studies at the University of 
Oxford with no restriction as to the chosen academic field; and

·         Participate in a comprehensive leadership programme providing 
them with:

-                    The knowledge and skills needed to contribute to 
public life in, and play a transformational role in the development of, 
their countries and regions of origin;

-                    Lasting professional networks across cultures and 
continents to be drawn on throughout their post-university careers.

We are asking friends and colleagues around the world to circulate the

awareness of the scheme and widen the pool of eligible candidates for 
the next academic year.
