Enrollment Update
We have received a great number of early applications for the spring 2009 Cape Town, South Africa Service-Learning program.
If you are reviewing applications for this program, we ask that you please forward them to CIEE as soon as possible for consideration as the program is filling rapidly and there are a limited number of spaces available.
We strongly recommend that students applying for this program indicate a second choice on their application in the event they are placed on a waiting list. For alternative programs in Southern Africa, please have your students consider the CIEE Study Centers in Stellenbosch, South Africa and Gaborone, Botswana. For an alternative Service-Learning program, please have them consider the Service-Learning program at the CIEE Study Center in Santiago, Dominican Republic, which has a prerequisite of 4 semesters of college-level Spanish.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Libby Lauze, Manager, Enrollment at 1.800.40.STUDY x4141 or via email at elauze@ciee.org.
