Selection

An interview will be required of all students applying to APPLES International Service-Learning programs to ensure compatibility with the intended goals of the program. These interviews will be conducted by a selection committee composed of staff, faculty, and students from the APPLES International Committee. Applicants will be contacted by email and provided with instructions and a link for scheduling their interview.

Notification

The Study Abroad Office will notify the applicants of their nomination for acceptance by email and include important instructions on the Study Abroad Office procedures for accepting and confirming their intent to participate in the program. Nominated applications will be forwarded to CGE and IPSL by Study Abroad. CGE and IPSL will make the final decision on applicants selected for each program, and will in turn send these students appropriate acceptance materials. Students who are not accepted for the APPLES programs may have other study abroad program options available to them and should contact the Study Abroad Office.
