These community-engaged internships and service initiatives may be student-designed. Preference is given to those opportunities in a culture distinctly different from the applicant’s background, usually outside of the U.S., and projects that are mutually-beneficial for the applicant and the communities who the applicant is engaging with. Funds are available throughout the academic year and for summer experiences. Cross-Cultural Community Engagement grants can also be used to attend conferences or events (e.g., travel, registration fees, etc.) with an intercultural theme in the U.S.
Funding is available to current, returning undergraduates. Graduating seniors are not eligible to apply for funding for activities that occur after graduation.
