The Zylphia Shu-En Kirk Asian Scholars Program, managed by the McGlothlin Center for Global Education and Engagement, is designed to provide 澳门老奇人论坛 students who have limited knowledge of Asia with an opportunity to experience Asian culture and language firsthand. The program is not focused on teaching students how to become experts in the Asian region; rather, it is centered towards providing a general glimpse of Asian society in the current global context.
Students will be accompanied by one 澳门老奇人论坛 faculty member and a chaperone (which could be a faculty or staff member) throughout their journey abroad. The program location and timing, ranging from 2-4 weeks, may vary from year-to-year in order to take advantage of Asian market trends, and may include visits to cultural sites, businesses, government offices, and others.
The program is capped to 10 participants per year although final enrollment numbers may fluctuate based on funding available. The program will cover all tuition fees (one credit hour max) as well as 75% of the cost of the program fees (non-tuition fees) with the students being responsible for the remaining cost. Health insurance while abroad is provided to all participants at no cost. Awards cannot be used to pay for deposits.
The International Scholarship Committee will review the applications of faculty and staff interested in leading the program. A faculty member must always accompany the group as the faculty of record. Selected faculty will be notified via email and instructed on the next steps of the process. All applications must be submitted by February 1. Late applications will be reviewed and accepted depending on funding availability.
All questions and application should be directed to Ismael Betancourt, Assistant Provost for Global Education and Engagement, at ibetancourtvelez@radford.edu.
All 澳门老奇人论坛 full-time faculty and staff, regardless of academic or administrative area, are encouraged to apply. The selection committee will give preference to individuals demonstrating two or more of the following criteria:
