Programs of International Partnerships<br />

and Program Office (IPPO)<br />

1. Scholarships<br />

Miriam College collaborates with a number of local and international<br />

scholarship organizations to provide women and men quality formal<br />

education and relevant life-long learning opportunities. Academic<br />

scholarships are given to deserving students, professional staff, and<br />

faculty, who exhibit outstanding performance in their chosen academic<br />

field. Scholarship applicants are also evaluated based on their adherence<br />

to Miriam College core values.<br />

2. Academic Exchanges<br />

For the inbound track, the academic exchange program allows international<br />

students and faculty to experience studying in Miriam College and in the<br />

Philippines for a semester or a year, taking subjects and earning grades from<br />

their respective academic units.<br />

For the outbound track, this program opens opportunities for MC students<br />

to spend a semester or a year in any of the partner schools of Miriam College<br />

overseas. The grades earned from the subjects taken abroad will be sent back<br />

to Miriam College for credit.<br />

3. Internship Programs<br />

Miriam College welcomes office-based, field, and academic research<br />

interns. Through its various offices, advocacy centers, and external partner<br />

organizations, this three to six-month program is directed at providing<br />

hands-on experience and training in various fields. Currently, the internships<br />

are financially supported by the applicants and/or external grants they are<br />

able to secure. As host, MC-IPPO coordinates with the base institution<br />

of the applicants.<br />

4. Study Tours and Short-Term Programs<br />

Study tours and short-term programs are designed to suit the specific needs<br />

of a group of participants seeking alternative learning opportunities.<br />

The programs are designed to encourage learning outside of the formal<br />

classroom approach and expose participants to the various cultures,<br />

social institutions, languages, and everyday practices of a given country<br />

or community.<br />

5. Conferences/Trainings/Seminars/Workshops<br />

Given the Miriam College thrust built on developing lifelong learners,<br />

MC‐IPPO encourages students, professional staff, and faculty to join<br />

international conferences, training activities, seminars, and the like.<br />

Potential participants need to express their willingness to join these activities<br />

by fulfilling the requirements and initiating the application process, while<br />

MC‐IPPO can facilitate and provide support, such as (but not limited to):<br />

directing participants to individuals or organizations that offer financial aid<br />

within and outside of MC, and/or advisement on the application procedures.<br />

6. Special Projects<br />

MC-IPPO provides the institution with support in the undertaking of various<br />

international events initiated by its different units, academic departments,<br />

centers and offices. Some recent projects include the Action Research Training<br />

with Southeast Asian Scholars and Advocates, Gender and Macroeconomics<br />

Intensive Training Program, and the International Conference of Learning<br />

& Teaching, all of which were held and hosted by Miriam College.<br />
