International Student and Scholar Services coordinates a screening committee that selects
the finalists who interview with the Class of 1938 Selection Committee.
The best candidates are those who indicate their interest in an independent
study project that is tied to their personal and/or career aspirations
and have financial need of scholarship funding to pursue this project.
Motivation for study abroad as a learning experience and excitement about
the project are also significant factors. Strong consideration will be
given to candidates whose university records demonstrate their seriousness
of academic purpose and to students who lack the sufficient funds to
pursue the project. A project should be well thought out and researched
as much as possible for feasibility and cost factors.
International Student and Scholar Services staff will be happy to discuss with you your ideas
about the project proposal and answer any questions you might have about
the application process or the schedule for applicants.
A completed application form plus six copies and an official transcript from the
registrar's office must be submitted to International Student and Scholar Services, FedEx Global Education Center, Room 2004, by 4:00
p.m. on Monday, February 22, 2010. Written application
form and form-fillable application are available through
this website. If filling out the form-fillable application, please note that if your answer does not fit in the area provided, a "plus" sign will appear in bottom right corner of the text box, and your complete answer will not print on the form. In this case, please copy and paste your complete answer in a separate word processing document and submit the additional page with your application.
