  • NSEP Scholarships

    Applications for NSEP scholarships are now available in the Off-Campus Studies Office, Leighton 119, for freshmen, sophomores and juniors who are planning to study abroad in 2006-2007. The intent of the program is to provide financial support to US undergraduates who, through study abroad, will acquire skills and experience in less commonly-studied languages and cultures. This highly competitive scholarship is merit-based and pays up to $10,000 per semester.
    The campus deadline for completed applications is Wednesday, January 18, 2006. Students must begin working on the lengthy and detailed application during winter break in order to complete it by the deadline. All applicants will be interviewed on campus in January. Applications are due in Washington D.C. by February 10, 2006, and finalists will be notified of awards in May 2006.
