Humanity in Action: This is a summer program that gives students to meet with activists from many European countries to attend classes, produce research, debate world problems, and continue their journey of political activism. Funding covers the cost of attending the internship (transportation, housing, food, tuition), which varies from year to year. (Approximately $4,000) Gilman Scholarship: This source is unique in that it targets low income students (must be on a Pell Grant) who would like to study abroad (any subject). Varying degrees of financial assistance are provided depending where the student wants to study and for how long. Generally, the goal is to prepare recipients to assume meaningful roles in an increasingly global economy. ($3,000-5,000) Undergraduate focus. DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) : The DAAD scholarships and fellowships are available for a broad range of learning experiences, including those set within academic institutions and those more broadly placed within government and industry. The range of support and the durations of the programs vary considerably. Both graduate and undergraduate. ($5,000-$15,000) Goldwater: This seeks students in STEM fields who have a high GPA (3.8) and who want to pursue a Ph. D. in one of the sciences (bias against medical school). They seem to favor students who have done research and have at least one published paper (joint efforts accepted). Undergraduate focus. ($8,000) NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): For students in all STEM fields, this gives you the chance to do some intense research at a U. S. university during the summer. (Varies: $4,000-$5,000). STEM major necessary. Boren Language Scholarship These are available for students who will be returning to Western after nine months of language training in a foreign country. The widely spoken languages do not qualify for Boren aid (French, Spanish, German), but if one is interested in learning an ‘exotic’ language Arabic, Urdu, Chinese, this is your place. After graduation, recipients are required to perform a year of paid service for the United States Government. Undergraduate and graduate. (Amount varies from $15,000-$21,000) Related: Critical Language Scholarship (summer only): $5,000. Contact: Dr. Tom Moore College Hall 05 Ex. 4074
