During the grant period, grantees broaden their academic, scientific, or artistic skills as degree-seeking, non-degree students, or researchers. Applications are open to candidates of all personal and academic backgrounds. The program particularly encourages candidates who have strong intercultural and leadership skills, and who have experience with and motivation for community engagement.
