Description
The Phillips Ambassadors Program is one of the most generous and flexible scholarships for undergraduate study abroad at Carolina. The scholarship combines a financial award of $5,000, an academic course, and a charge to students to share their unique study abroad experience with young people in their hometowns and with the Carolina community. All UNC students in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 3.0, and who are accepted to a UNC-approved study abroad program in Asia, other than the SEAS and the Weir Honors Fellowship in Asian Studies programs, are eligible to apply to become Phillips Ambassadors. Qualified students from all academic majors may apply. graduating-seniors are not eligible. Strong preference is given to students who have not previously participated in a university study abroad program in Asia. Preference may also be given to students applying to programs that incorporate experiential learning and internships. Phillips Ambassadors are selected twice a year, once during the fall semester, and again in the spring semester. Application deadlines coincide with study abroad program deadlines set by the Study Abroad Office at UNC.
