Dr Bridget Harris,
Good Day,
I am a current member of Asian Criminological Society; the current Dean of the College of Criminal Justice in the University of Cebu (Philippines); and the concurrent Program Chair of the MS CJ and PhD CJ programs.
I wish to nominate 5 of my students in the PhD in Criminal Justice program to apply for the Postgraduate Scholarship in Southern Criminology. They are now Second Year in their PhD CJ and by next year, they will be recommended for graduation. Do we need to submit certification as to their enrollment?
Thank you.

Hello, please see response below from Dr Bridget Harris:
Dear Professor Sabijon,
Thank you for your query and interest in Postgraduate Scholarships in Southern Criminology and Crime and Justice in Asia and the Global South Conference. Certification of student enrolment is not required in the application and your students would be eligible to apply, based on their stage of candidature. We look forward to receiving applications from your students and hope to meet staff and students of the University of Cebu later this year.
Kind regards,
Bridget
I am student at University of Cincinnati doing my masters in criminal justice. Can I apply?
Hi Madhuri,
Unfortunately, you are not eligible to apply as these scholarships are for PhD students only.
Regards,
Amy Gurd.
