CIEE is pleased to offer three $1,000 scholarships for the 2009-10 Teach in Spain program. Applicants for these scholarships must be signed up for the traditional Teach in Spain program, not the basic option. Awardees will be selected from the following three categories:
Underrepresented – In efforts to increase the participation of minorities
First time abroad experience – For applicants who did not have an opportunity for a study abroad or similar immersion experience as an undergraduate student
Education majors – To provide future teachers with valuable international experience
Competition for the CIEE scholarships is competitive and the quality of the materials submitted is very important. The scholarship application procedure is entirely independent from the CIEE program application.
how to apply
