Phillips Ambassadors Program Undergraduate
Research Opportunities Institute for International Public Policy Fellowship Program Internship, Career, and Graduate School Opportunities
Each International Studies major who is accepted into a UNC-approved study abroad program is automatically considered for a CIAS study abroad scholarship. These awards, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, are to be used to cover related expenses for a UNC-approved study abroad or foreign exchange program. Only International Studies majors are eligible for these scholarships. Your application through the Study Abroad Office will be forwarded to the Curriculum for evaluation; no separate application is necessary. Awards are made twice each year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Students selected to receive the scholarships will be notified by mail in November (for fall awards) or in March (for spring awards).
A prestigious new program at Carolina, combining a financial award and an academic program centered around a study abroad experience in Asia, the Phillips Ambassadors Program offers an innovative approach to study abroad and a unique opportunity for students to learn about a vital region of the world. Phillips Ambassadors have the opportunity to select a summer or semester term of study from among more than 40 academic programs in Asia. Click here for more information on the Phillips Ambassadors Program. The Honors Office offers financial awards to support senior honors thesis research. There are two funding cycles per year, with proposal deadlines in September and March. The March funding cycle makes funding awards to students whose projects are sufficiently well-planned that they could begin work over the summer before their senior year. Award funds may be used to support any legitimate cost directly connected to the undertaking of the honors project. Students must meet the honors minimum cumulative GPA requirement of 3.2 to apply for an award. Projects with an international dimension may qualify for a supplemental award of up to $500 from the Center for Global Initiatives. Students must apply through the Curriculum in International and Area Studies; please contact Tara Hudson for more information. The deadline for the spring 2008 funding cycle is March 17, 2008 at 4:00 pm. Funding is also available through the Office of Undergraduate Research, and the Center for Global Initiatives offers awards to students conducting international research projects.

These scholarships are for undergraduates pursuing research or professional experience projects with an international focus. For more information see the Center for Global Initatives.
The Office of Undergraduate Research has developed a database of research opportunities for undergraduates. This database allows faculty (and also research associates, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students) to advertise a wide range of possible research experiences, including those connected with particular courses, volunteer positions, paid positions, and mentored scholarship that can lead to an undergraduate thesis. Anyone with an appropriate posting that is approved by a faculty member should go to the website listed above, click on "Research Opportunities" and then on "Post a New Research Opportunity." The entire list can be examined by selecting "Browse Research Opportunities."
The Office of Undergraduate Research wishes to help students find internship and other research opportunities that match their interests. They also are working on ways to integrate undergraduate internships and summer research experiences with campus activities. Accordingly, they have developed an online internship questionnaire for students. We advise you review the Curriculum's requirements for obtaining internship credit toward the International Studies major.
