“…Before continuing, it is important to emphasize that most of the papers reviewed mentioned several rationales or intended outcomes, and oftentimes noted a belief that one set of outcomes (e.g., skills development) led to others (e.g., social change outcomes). Some papers referred to outcomes by level, and a common framework is to examine the micro (individual), meso (institutional), and macro (societal) levels (see Mawer, 2018). This categorization is also applied in the summary of the six rationales below.…”

This systematic literature review maps an emerging subfield in educational research : international scholarships for students from the Global South. To untangle the multiple and sometimes competing rationales for scholarship programs, this study identified and reviewed 105 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters published from years 2010 to 2019. From the findings, six primary and distinguishable program rationales emerge: scholarships to develop skills development and human capital, to enhance diplomatic relations, to promote social change, to spur sustainable development, to internationalize universities, and to increase students’ access to higher education. In the analysis, complements and contradictions among the rationales are explored, thereby emphasizing the importance of clarifying programs’ goals and designs. The goal of this review is to highlight variances, opportunities, and omissions within the literature to inform scholars, administrators, and policymakers in the field of international higher education.

“…In the last decade, there have been increasing calls for assessment and evaluation of individual and social outcomes of public and private scholarship programs (Campbell, 2018;Findlay et al, 2012;Oketch et al, 2014;Stapleton et al, 2016;Volkman et al, 2009). Evaluation studies in the field of international scholarships raised both normative and methodological questions regarding program values, behaviors, and attitudes of participants and alumni, as well as postscholarship program transition (Loerke, 2018;Marsh & Oyelere, 2018;Martel, 2018;Mawer, 2018;Zha & Wang, 2018). In the field of public diplomacy, despite calls for the rigorous evaluation of exchange or scholarship programs, such efforts remain lacking (Banks, 2020;Sommerfeldt & Buhmann, 2019).…”

International scholarship for social change? Re‐contextualizing Global Korea Scholarship alumni’s perceptions of justice and diversity in South Korea

2021

This study examines South Korea's international scholarship program based on responses to the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) alumni survey to find how the participants perceive the host country's dimensions of justice and diversity. We employ the concept of justice in terms of redistribution, recognition, and representation. Analysis of GKS alumni perceptions of Korean society revealed that international mobility programs may provide positive and negative experiences for the participants depending on their positionality in terms of gender, ethnicity, and Korean language proficiency. Some had the exclusive opportunity to access global knowledge, skills, and networks. Others were exposed to unexpected misrepresentation and misframing while living and learning in the new society. We suggest the need for multidimensional policy discussions to consider both positive and negative outcomes of international scholarship programs and their potential to play a transformative role in global higher education.

“…Conquanto grande investimento seja feito em bolsas concedidas a alunos internacionais, existem poucos estudos sistemáticos sobre os resultados alcançados por esses programas de bolsas (Mawer 2014(Mawer , 2017(Mawer , 2018. Por exemplo, no final da década de 1980, alguns programas de bolsas como o CSFP, Fulbright, Rhodes e Marshal, já tinham alcançado décadas de existência, mas os seus resultados e impactos eram, em sua maioria, medidos apenas internamente (Strömbom, 1989).…”

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the role that the Program for Graduate Agreement-Students (PEC-PG) has in the promotion of international development. The research methodology involved document analysis, interviews with PEC-PG’s coordinators in the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), The Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), as well as the analysis of survey answers provided by PEC-PG alumni who participated in the program from 2010 to 2015. The main conclusion was that PEC-PG contributes to enhance the capacity of human resources, as evidenced by the analysis of alumni answers, the better employment situation of ex-students after the program, their area of professional activity and the large number of former beneficiaries who have taken up leadership positions. However, this research has also identified that there are some challenges to be overcome by PG-PEC so that it reaches its full potential in the promotion of international development, such as the concentration of selected candidates in a few countries, the brain drain of former scholarship holders that decided to stay in Brazil after the end of their studies and the inexistence of PEC-PG alumni networks.
