Program Description:

Early Start Program Scholarship

Funding provided with the generous support of Richard Paegelow, KU alumnus and former participant of the San Jose, Costa Rica study abroad program.  Awards are designed to assist KU undergraduate students who can benefit from the month-long Early Start program to strengthen language and cultural adaptation skills in anticipation of semester study at Universidad de Costa Rica. 

The scholarship totals $1,200 which covers most of the expenses (tuition, room and board, on-site assistance, and an excursion) connected with studying in the Escuela de Filologia for the month.

Students must have already applied online to the Early Start Program in conjunction with a Costa Rica semester Program (Fall, Spring or the Academic Year) before completing the Early Start Program Scholarship online application.

Please contact Mari Keyser in the Office of Study Abroad if you have any questions regarding this scholarship.

Application Procedures

All applicants will be required to submit the following documents. Applicants who have not begun an application for a study abroad program will not be eligible for the scholarship.
