• has no other funding available to finance the tuition fees.

Priority Criteria

An applicant will be considered on a priority basis if he/she is:

• conducting, managing, commissioning and/or using evaluations;
• holding a position of influence that is likely to foster wider adoption of M&E practices;
• working in an organization with a long-term plan to build evaluation capacity, where the IPDET training is an integral part of a more comprehensive plan;
• generating impact within the M&E sector of the developing country where he/she is based after participating in the IPDET program.

  Important notice:

• Be aware, that you cannot apply for an online and on-site scholarship at the same time! Choose beforehand, for which scholarship you want to apply.
• If you were awarded with an on-site scholarship in 2022, you are not eligible for an on-site scholarship in 2023. But feel free to apply for an online scholarship in 2023.
• We kindly urge only those applicants in real need of financial support to apply for a scholarship, since the demand outnumbers the funds available.

Responsibilities

• Scholarship recipients are responsible for ensuring that they provide all required information within the stipulated time frame and that all information is correct and accurate, to the best of their knowledge. Scholarship recipients are also responsible for sharing post-course information (i.e., sharing a qualitative letter and filling out a quantitative survey).
