Overview

This free roundtable presented by NCHC's Major Scholarships committee will provide a virtual space for NCHC members to connect and discuss.

Advisers and institutions have struggled to support applicants for international award opportunities for three academic years due to COVID, and scholarship foundations have also had to modify recruitment and administration practices in response to the pandemic. The resumption of study abroad and international fellowship programs against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine raises new challenges for campus and external stakeholders. This roundtable will discuss evolving best practices in fellowship and study abroad advising and is designed for advisors, faculty, staff, administrators and anyone involved in student advising.

Join us to discuss:

• An overview of international fellowship opportunities for undergraduates and graduating seniors
  
• Understanding international scholarship/fellowship processes
  
• Supporting students interested in high impact international experiences as we approach our post-COVID “new normal”
  
• An overview of major competitive scholarships and fellowships
  
• External funding for study abroad and international exchange
