SCHOLARSHIP: Carleton College, USA International Scholarship for Undergraduate Students
The goal of the CGRS Junior Research Fellowships is to aid students with work that deepens their understanding of local, regional, national, or international issues, especially when such issues have global implications. We are particularly interested in students who wish to further projects undertaken during an OCS program (domestic or international), especially when this work will feed into their comps. In their funding requests, applicants can also include language study related to their research projects.
