Information Sessions & Deadlines

Information sessions will be held virtually during the Fall 2020 semester.

All applicants must access one information session in the current academic year prior to the first application deadline for the applicable competition, regardless of attendance in previous academic years.

Credit for attendance will not be given to students who do not complete the entire session.

There are two competitions each academic year:

• The Early Fall Competition is for funding Spring 2021 term-time study only. Early Fall Competition applicants must attend one of the first two information sessions.
• The Late Fall Competition is for funding study abroad for Summer 2021, Fall 2021, and the 2021-22 Academic Year. Late Fall Competition applicants must attend one of the six sessions listed below. The last information session is on December 7th; there will be no more sessions after this date (there are no information sessions in the spring).

Note: All competition deadlines are non-negotiable and will be strictly enforced to ensure a fair and manageable application process.

Dates for the 2020-2021 academic year (all times are EST):
