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 />
