2018 E-term Bulletin

6 ExplorationTermTravel Awards Through the Student Government Association, funds are available for Exploration Term travel awards for sophomores, juniors, and seniors who will be engaged in domestic or international study-travel. Preference will be based on financial need, student seniority, demonstrated financial commitment (i.e., for students who have made a deposit prior to applying for a travel award), and not having previously traveled for E-Term. The Exploration Term and Contract Learning Committee and SGA representatives determine the recipients of the travel awards. Applications for travel awards for faculty-led travel* are available on the E-Term/Contract Learning OrgSync page: https://orgsync.com/137207/chapter. Completed applications must be submitted to the Office of Exploration Term and Contract Learning on or before Thursday, September 14, 2017. Students requesting funds for independent projects must submit a completed contract approved using the contract requirements listed above. *For independent student contracts, the Koinonia Scholarship provides financial support for a student or group of students to contract an Exploration Term project concentrating on service issues in the global community. Applications for the Koinonia as well as for other travel awards for independently-contracted E-Term travel are due on or before Friday, October 20, 2017; applications will be made available on the E-Term/Contract Learning OrgSync page.
