The award covers the full program cost, airfare, housing, field trips, and an academic course taught by CIEE. Meals and recreational activities are not covered. Applicants must be a current freshman, sophomore, or junior from an accredited institution, have a minimum GPA of 3.0, and be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident.
