scholarships!

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

  • All applicants must have a complete Teach in Spain application on file with CIEE by the February 1st scholarship application deadline.

  • Complete a scholarship application.

  • Write a 500-word, typed scholarship essay that includes:

    • Your objectives for your time overseas with CIEE

    • Details of your financial need and how the scholarship will assist you in meeting your individual goals

    • Describe any extenuating circumstances that may be relevant in the consideration of your scholarship application

Awardees will be selected based on a well-presented application, financial need and other criteria deemed essential by the committee.

responsibilities of awardees on the program

Scholarship recipients must keep in contact with the CIEE Sevilla staff while participating on the Teach in Spain program and document their experience living and teaching in Andalusia. Communications may be in the form of photos, videos, blogs and stories that convey the real experience on the program.
