Please complete this form if you are a VCU faculty member who is proposing a short-term study abroad program.

By completing this form, you are confirming that you have read and understood the VCU Education Abroad Faculty Leader Handbook.

If your program is approved and you are not a US citizen, please be aware that you are subject to the terms of your employment and visa status at VCU and may only be compensated according to those terms.

Preference is given to programs that are:

• Sustainable
• High-capacity
• High-impact
• Multi-disciplinary
• Engaging
• Immersive
• Affordable

Programs may not be approved for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

• Program previously ran under enrollment minimum and no clear plan exists to ensure sufficient enrollment for the future
• Program fee is estimated at an unreasonably high amount
• Similar programs (either VCU or affiliate/alternative) already exist for population that the proposed program targets
• Program does not appeal to a sufficient population of students
• Faculty does not have a plan for recruiting widely across departments/schools
• Program proposes to place students at a host institution for instruction which requires GEO to pay both the host institution and the VCU faculty member

Instructions:
After you click "Apply Now", please select the term in which you intend to run your program.  You will be asked to select dates and location to create an itinerary even if dates may be tentative.

Contact Amy Miller (millera16@vcu.edu) or Stephanie Tignor (davenportse@vcu.edu) if you have any questions.
