UPCOMING EVENTS

Education Abroad Fair
October 4, 2022, 10AM-2PM, Exhibition Hall
Learn more about nearly 130 international education possibilities offered at Tech. Remember that your two terms abroad for the IP have to be coherent ("connected," either via your chosen IP foreign language or by writing an essay demonstrating the connection through a specific topic in your major).

This event is a great way to speak with the entire Education Abroad team of advisors for Faculty-Led Programs, Exchange Programs, Global Internship & Research Programs, Scholarships, and more to learn about the various options. The IP Manager will also have a table - drop by and say hello!
Graduating this semester?
If you are graduating this semester and want to have the International Plan designation on your diploma, be sure to submit a degree designation form immediately! 

If you are planning to graduate in spring or summer 2023, please let the IP Manager know by emailing internationalplan@oie.gatech.edu.


Meet with IP Manager!
If you have not yet met with the IP Manager (Ilana) this year, please make an appointment! Early planning is key to your success in the IP.
 

Going Abroad? Make Sure It Counts!
You've picked where you want to go abroad and what you want to do - Great! Remember that there needs to be a connection between the two places you go abroad. If it's not language, you'll need to establish a topical connection ("intellectual coherence") by looking at a specific aspect of your major or a professional interest. Check out http://ip.oie.gatech.edu/Approval_Form for more information, and feel free to reach out to Ilana at ilana@oie.gatech.edu or by scheduling an appointment for more help!

Gilman Scholarship Deadline
October 6, 2022 
The Gilman International Scholarship Program is a program of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and offers grants of up to $5,000 to U.S. undergraduate students of high financial need participating in credit-bearing study abroad programs or international internships.  Students studying a critical need language could be eligible to receive a grant of up to $8,000. The Gilman Program aims to diversify the kinds of students who study and intern abroad and the countries and regions where they go by supporting U.S. undergraduates who might otherwise not consider these unique and valuable opportunities due to financial constraints. For more information, please visit www.gilmanscholarship.org.
