These summer study abroad programs are offered by CIEE, a leader in international education. They feature top-notch academics and cultural immersion, combined with exciting activities and travel in one of 22 amazing destinations around the world. There are three types of programs: Language & Culture: Whether you’re interested in Spanish, French, Mandarin, German, Italian, Japanese or Arabic, the 4-week language and cultural immersion programs are the best way to try a new language or build your language fluency and cultural savvy. You get to stay with a host family, interact with native-speaking kids your own age, and use your new language skills as you explore and experience the country. Service & Leadership: Follow your heart and help make the world a better place. Take part in a community project and develop lifelong skills that will serve you as a global citizen. Focus on Children’s Rights, Human Rights, Community Development or Education and earn a certificate for 45 hours of service. 3-week programs are in China, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, South Africa and Ghana. Content Studies: What’s your passion? Take the leap and explore one of your interests abroad in Botswana, Bonaire, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Tanzania, Costa Rica or Thailand. 3-week programs focus on Environmental Studies, Global Entrepreneurship, Communication, Public Health Issues or Marine Science. If you are graduating in 2017, 2018 or 2019 you are eligible to apply for a scholarship. Funds will be awarded on the basis of merit and on financial need. The deadline to apply for these scholarships is December 1, 2015.
