Bowman Travel Grants Available

The Council on International Educational Exchange is once again pleased to offer the Bowman Travel Grant, which provides assistance to students participating in programs in non-traditional destinations.

This award is available for study abroad, work, internship, volunteer, and independent research programs in Central and South America, the Carribean, Asia, and Africa. This grant is in memory of John E. Bowman, Executive Director of Council from 1952-1979.

Applicants must be high school or undergraduate students participating in programs sponsored by Council on International Educational Exchange or a Council member institution. Applicants must demonstrate both academic preparation for their intended program and financial need. Winners will be issued vouchers to Council Travel toward the cost of their airfare to their program destination.

Deadline for Application is April 1 for Summer, Fall and Academic year programs, October 26 for Spring programs.

Complete details and applications are available on the Council's web site, or by contacting: Janet Grunwald, Executive Assistant, International Study Programs Council on International Educational Exchange

Help Wanted!

Dr. Jeffrey G. Blodgett, Associate Professor of Marketing, and Aysen Bakir, doctoral student from Turkey, are conducting a study as part of a research project. The international graduate students’ help is needed for the research project. There will be sessions held to complete a questionnaire in Holman Hall 30 between March 22-26 at the times that are mentioned below.

Your help by taking 25-30 minutes of your time is really appreciated. Since there are only a limited number of international graduate students, your response is important. $5 gift certificates that can used in Barnes and Noble Bookstore or Aramark food services will be provided to the participants of the study. Please e-mail Aysen in advance at abakir@olemiss.edu which session you will be attending so that we know how many people will be participating. Thank you, in advance, for your participation.

The times:

March 22 in Holman 30 from 12.00-12.30 and from 4.00 - 4.30

March 24 in Holman 30 from 12.00-12.30 and from 4.00 - 4.30
