Building on the Basics: Creating Your Tribe on the Move
Scholarship Submission Deadline September 15, 2016
Date and Location
FIGT is pleased to announce our 2017 Annual Conference #FIGT17NL will be held in The Netherlands, March 23-25, 2017 at the World Trade Center, The Hague.
The David C. Pollock Scholarship Fund pays tribute to international educator, minister, sociologist, and co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing up Among Worlds, David C. Pollock, whose tireless support, vision and dedication to families in global transition impacted countless people in every corner of the globe. Building on Pollock’s legacy, FIGT aims to attract, involve and educate emerging, global-minded, intercultural leaders.
The David C. Pollock Scholarship provides highly motivated individuals working or studying in the intercultural and transnational mobility field the opportunity to attend the FIGT conference.
Our guiding question is, "Who is missing at the FIGT table?" We are looking for a diverse field of applicants from each of our traditional sectors, (corporate, diplomatic, academic, military, mission, arts and entrepreneurial) plus voices not well represented, such as those involved in immigration and refugee work, an increase in male voices, and participants from all parts of the globe.
