Summer

Dates / Deadlines:

Terms do not exist for this program.

Program Description:

Expand your worldview and embrace adventure! Emory Scholars can take advantage of an exciting scholarship to fund study abroad during the summer of 2010. This application will be activated on January 4, 2010. An Apply Now button will appear on this page at that time.

Scholarship Details:

Scholarships will be available each year for an Emory CIPA summer study abroad program. The scholarship covers a set amount for the tuition of the program to which students have been accepted. The amount is determined annually by the Emory Scholars Program. Students are expected to cover the balance for any remaining tuition, room and board, books, transportation (to and from program destination), and other expenses that are part of their stay abroad. Transportation and day-to-day spending costs are not included.

Students must indicate that they are scholars when applying for a CIPA Program. Students eligible for the Courtesy Scholarship are ineligible for this award and should contact Human Resources at 404-727-7613 for information on Courtesy monies available to them for summer study abroad.

Selection Committee:

A committee consisting of the Office for Undergraduate Education, the Emory Scholars Program and the Center for International Programs Abroad (CIPA) reviews the applications. Priority will be based on class standing, the number of requests for a particular program, and the committee's evaluation of the student's statement of interest. Please remember that the scholarship selection is a highly competitive process. Scholarships are not guaranteed. The decision of the committee is final.

Criteria for Selection:

Class standing in the College will be considered in the selection process. Class standing is based on expected graduation date only, not completed hours or admit term or other such indicators.

Active standing status and a minimum 3.20 GPA is required.

First-time participants will be given priority over past participants.

Continuity with current course of study/major as demonstrated in application will be considered.

Continuity with current course of language study as demonstrated in application will be considered.

The Application Process:

Applications for scholarships and summer study abroad programs will be available online (www.cipa.emory.edu) beginning January 4, 2010. Students must complete the online Emory Scholars Scholarship Application and the online CIPA Summer Study Abroad Application. The Emory Scholars Scholarship Application includes an essay section in which students must submit a brief essay (1-2 pages) responding to the given prompt (separate from the essay for the general application). Please note that the essay is seen by the Selection Committee as an important element of the application. As a part on the online application process, students will also be required to submit material submissions (hardcopy documents) to the CIPA office; a list of material submissions will be included in the online application.

Summer Study Abroad applications will be accepted beginning January 4, 2010. Several of the summer study abroad programs have a priority application deadline of February 1, 2010. Early application is advised for students interested in the scholarship as some programs fill before the posted deadlines. Scholarship applications must be received no later than February 1, 2010. Students will be notified no later than February 21 of the decision. If a student does not receive an award and needs to cancel his/her application, the student must do so in writing to Branka Gajic, Summer Study Abroad Coordinator, no later than March 15 to be refunded the $350 deposit. If a student does receive the award and decides to cancel his/her application, the $350 deposit is non-refundable. All Scholars are subject to the CIPA Summer Study Abroad Refund Policy after March 15. If a student receives the Scholars award but is subsequently rejected from the summer study abroad program, then the award will be rescinded.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Branka Gajic, Summer Study Abroad Coordinator, at bgajic@emory.edu
