Study Abroad Application Support – Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship

The 2023 Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship is a four-week summer program running from July 7–Aug. 4. Twelve exceptional student leaders of color will be selected to conduct a comparative study of social justice leadership in America, South Africa and Ireland.

All eligible students who submit an application qualify for a $1,500 scholarship toward any CIEE summer, fall or spring program through summer 2024.

How the application support works:

• You are required to submit a video, answering four questions for your application.
• Ideally, we recommend that you write your answers out first, and e-mail it to us at sao@uic.edu so we can proofread and edit before you visit the application support session.
• In the session, we will work with you to record your video (with the edited application answers) and ensure that you showcase confidence and a clear delivery.

RSVP required: You MUST select a 30-minute window to visit.
