Borlaug Institute, Multi Location
The Borlaug Institute leads international food security and agricultural development programs for the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS). Named in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, “Father of the Green Revolution,” and faculty member at Texas A&M University for a quarter of a century, the Borlaug Institute continues Dr. Norman Borlaug’s legacy of improving global food security, livelihoods, and resilience through applied agricultural science, research and extension. The Borlaug Institute’s mission is “To help elevate small-holder farmers out of poverty and hunger through agricultural science.”
The USAID Women’s Scholarship Endowment (WSE) Activity assists Afghan women to obtain a university education in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field of study, better enabling them to overcome barriers to gaining employment, raise their incomes, and achieve leadership roles in their families, communities and government in positions of influence in the public and private sectors, thereby ensuring a balance of voices and perspectives. WSE will build capacity of partner Afghan higher education institutions so that they may learn to manage the scholarship program, eventually taking over management of the scholarship program, thereby ensuring its sustainability.
Under the supervision of the Chief of Party (COP), and working closely with the Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) and other project staff, the Scholarship Manager will work with scholarship beneficiaries and universities on the scholarship award process from the initial scholarship announcement, through the application and selection process, and continue to support students until their graduation.
Qualified applicants should submit an application online at https://BorlaugInstitute.formstack.com/forms/wse_scholarship_manager by 30 July 2022. Only finalist will be contacted. Women highly encouraged to apply.
