Recipient students must have and maintain appropriate nonimmigrant visa status for the 2000-2001 academic year. Many different majors can fit into these categories. While these four fields are generally broad categories, your application must indicate that the student's major can appropriately fall into one of the eligible fields. If you can make a good case for certain fields to be considered under the four eligible fields, please apply and include documentation to support your case. Since student recipients must be undergraduate juniors or seniors or master's level graduate students, community college students are not eligible to apply.
D candidates are eligible.
Students must be enrolled at the nominating institution at the time of application. Students who have not yet begun their U.S. studies or who are in the midst of transferring between two U.S. institutions are not eligible. Funds do not cover expenses of dependents, travel, and purchase of non-expendable items such as computers or TVs. Many universities have estimates for an international student's cost of education per year. We will try to be flexible in working with different university systems.
