I am pleased to inform to you that the New York Group for Technology Transfer, a non-profit organization based in New York that specializes in management training on sustainable development issues, has tuition scholarships available to qualified candidates from Romania for the courses of the reference. I have taken the liberty of addressing this message to you hoping that you/your magazine would assist us in disseminating this important information.

The 11-day intensive programs are directed to government and community officials, policy planners and other professionals in the 3 different areas and are built upon a combination of classroom work and professional visits. The courses will be taught in English by seasoned experts and professionals. Minimum requirements for participation are a University degree and relevant experience in the appropriate field.

Once admitted in any of the programs, candidates will be awarded a tuition scholarship. They or their sponsors will then have to cover only the non-tuition expenses and the air fare. Non-tuition expenses are US$ 2,700 and include course materials, all local transportation (airport pick-up and departure, local field trips), lodging on a single room basis at a comfortable hotel in New York and all meals during the length of the course (dinner only on arrival day and breakfast only on departure day) .
