International Enhancement Grants
Spring 2003 International Enhancement Grants Grants of up to $2,000 are available on a competitive basis for students to pursue relevant academic or training programs in order to add or intensify an international component of their IU degrees. Note: Grants are not intended to support research activities.
Applicants must have an objective that can be completed over spring 2003. The proposal must have an international focus and activities must supplement or expand upon (and may NOT duplicate) available IU course work. Applicants also need to provide a description of the program - a syllabus, course description, or brochure. If the opportunity is not a regularly offered course, a detailed summary of activities and confirmation of supervision from a host institution faculty member or an on-site supervisor must be provided. Note: Grants may not support participation in a formal IU overseas study program.
Applicants for internships should clearly document (a) that they have the requisite skills for the position, (b) the content areas that will be addressed, and (c) the impact the experience will have on their own academic program. Proposals that include international travel are strongly encouraged.
Activities may not take place on the campus at which the applicant is regularly enrolled. Priority will be given to projects that last a full academic term.
Evaluators will consider scholastic achievement; quality of identified program; validity and feasibility of the proposal; faculty support as indicated by letters of reference; and impact the experience will have on the applicant’s academic program.
Applicants may be students from any discipline, department, or campus; must be enrolled in a program leading to a graduate degree at Indiana University; and must have completed at least nine credit hours of graduate course work at IU at the time of application. Students admitted to doctoral candidacy are not eligible.
