Burse de vara Fulbright pentru studenti

The Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission announces the competition for the Summer Institutes for European Student Leaders, a five-week academic program for young people pursuing post-secondary education. The Institutes are an all-expense paid program, including meals, transportation, books, tickets to cultural events, and more. Participants will be enrolled in ASPE, the Bureau's Accident Sickness Program for Exchanges, and will receive a stipend of $15/day to cover incidentals.

Students in the Summer Institutes for European Student Leaders on Environmental Stewardship will participate in an intensive program designed to provide a keen understanding of environmental stewardship, community service, and American culture. Students will gain an appreciation for the responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices. The program will be interactive and experiential, with field trips to outdoor research facilities and opportunities for classroom discussion. Students will leave the program with a willingness to put newly-gained knowledge to practical use. All activities will support student work on projects that will deepen students’ understanding of issues of environmental stewardship. Students should be prepared to be busy, work hard, and have a lot of fun.  Students will have the opportunity to join in the celebration of American Independence Day and observe the local parade and fireworks display as well as participate in a variety of other leisure activities such as a baseball game, a canoe trip, movies, games, and visits to the KSU student recreation facilities. More than just a cultural exchange program, students can expect the Summer Institute for European Student Leaders on Environmental Stewardship to prepare them to lead the way to a more sustainable future.
