EXPANDING THE HORIZON
International Summer Scholarships for students at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences

Introduction Although the internet age has brought any part of the world to us instantly on a computer screen or a telephone, the educational experience obtained with travel or study abroad is unique and unforgettable. Not only is there a special opportunity for culture and language exchange, all aspects of science and technology are being pursued and shared in a world that is steadily becoming smaller. It is a learning and living experience that can open our horizon and take us to exciting and enchanting locales. For many students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, it may be programmatically and financially difficult to spend a semester or year abroad. We are therefore encouraging our students to pursue an international experience for summer 2012 with this special program. Providing more international learning opportunities is one of Executive Dean Robert Goodman’s top initiatives and this program is a step in that direction. Scholarships will be provided to help defray the cost of an international summer program or internship up to a maximum of $4,000. Individual awards will depend on specific program costs. Students must submit an application online at sebs.rutgers.edu/international. Please keep in mind the following points. 

1. Language and culture only programs will not be considered.
2. Find and select a program that will enhance and strengthen your curriculum studies and your educational goals. Then tell us how the program you selected will do this.
3. A partial list of suitable programs is provided at sebs.rutgers.edu/international/links.html. You may find other programs that may also be acceptable, but please check with us beforehand if you want to do a program from a different organization.
4. You must keep a journal or online blog during your time abroad.
5. You will be asked to participate in an international study abroad forum in fall 2012 to help inform other tudents of your experience.
