ELCA International Scholarships: ELCA Global Mission is in companionship with many Lutheran churches (“companion churches”) around the world.

The goal of ELCA Global Mission is to enable their church leaders to obtain advanced training in areas of work in which the church is engaged (theology, health care, development, etc.) not available in their home countries.

After their studies are complete and degrees are earned, the scholarship recipient returns home to work in a position designated by the companion church.

This process cannot be done without much sacrifice on the part of the student, the student’s family, and the home church.

The companion church determines its needs and then, in turn, who receives an application.

After endorsing their candidate, the application is forwarded to the ELCA Global Mission International Scholarship Office for further processing.

Specific scholarship requirements are:

• Applicants must be active members of a church or institution that is in companion relationship with the ELCA.
• Scholarships are normally not given to undergraduate or first level graduate degrees. ELCA Global Mission International Scholarships are normally for advanced graduate level programs in the area of theology or other church-related fields not available in the applicant’s home country.
• Scholarships are not given to citizens or permanent residents of theUnited States of America.
• Scholarship recipients are required to return to their home country after their studies to work in a position designated by the companion church.

For further information or questions regarding scholarship assistance, please contact the Lutheran church in your home country.

All applications must come through one’s home church and cannot be made directly to the ELCA Global Mission.

International Criminal Court – Internships and Visiting Professionals Programme: As an international organisation endeavouring to optimise geographic and gender representation, the Court respects and values diversity and therefore encourages applications from candidates of all nationalities and cultures to its Internship and Visiting Professional Programme.

I. Internships Placements

The Court offers internships to highly motivated young professionals with good academic qualifications who are in the early stages of their careers.

The Internship is a practical educational experience whereby Interns principally assist the staff of the Court in discharging their duties.

Under supervision, Interns are assigned projects and tasks that are relevant to their educational background and interests and provide them with the opportunity to put into practice and further develop their theoretical knowledge.

The work will generally be comparable to the work of the upper general service category or junior professional level.

Internships are offered for a period of between three and six months.

In order to apply for an internship placement, candidates will need to ensure that they meet the general eligibility requirements for Interns in addition to any additional requirements stated by the specific Organ of the Court to which the candidate elects to apply.

II. Visiting Professionals Placements

Visiting Professional placements are offered to candidates who have extensive academic and/or professional expertise in an area of work relevant to or related to the Court.

Visiting Professionals will usually be assigned to a range of tasks or specific projects in a capacity which will both draw upon and augment the specific knowledge or skills of the individual.

The work will generally be comparable to the mid-professional or senior level. In some cases, Visiting Professionals, with specialist knowledge and skills in an area pertaining to the work of the Court may propose a project to be conducted in cooperation with the Court during the course of their placement.

Visiting Professionals will collaborate with senior and junior professional officers and undertake their own projects in consultation with the staff of the Organ to which they elect to be appointed.

Visiting Professional placements are offered for a period of between one and six months duration.

Subject to the Common Rules and Conditions governing the Visiting Professional Programme, it is possible to combine a placement as a Visiting Professional with a period of paid or unpaid leave, or other affiliation with an external entity.

In order to apply for a Visiting Professional placement, candidates will need to ensure that they meet the general eligibility requirements for Visiting Professionals in addition to any additional requirements stated by the specific Organ of the Court to which the candidate elects to apply.
