OIED Scholarship Application

The OIED application consists of applicant profile questions and 2 essays.

1. Each international experience is unique, and destinations vary greatly. What factors do you consider when choosing a program or destination? How will this experience impact your personal, academic, and/or professional goals?
2. What unique background and life experiences do you have which will help you positively contribute to your international experience and the host community? How will you continue this global learning when you return home? For example, becoming more active on campus, taking more GLO courses, continuing to engage with the host language, encouraging others to travel internationally, learn a language, or be more globally engaged. Be specific.
