Student Grants

The goal of the student grant program is to facilitate student interaction with diverse cultures, languages, environments, standards of living, and political climates.

To achieve this, the Faculty Advisory Committee has shown a strong preference for longer term independent projects that have a high degree of cultural interaction.
