The competition is open to students University-wide and is organized through the Study Abroad Office. Applicants are urged to attend information sessions that will be scheduled prior to proposal deadlines. Applications from graduate students are due in November; undergraduate applications are due in January. For details on the NSEP Program, see the NSEP website at www.aed.org/nsep/. |
