Please share information on ISIC Card
with your students - help build the CCIE Scholarship Fund
CCIE is working with
STA TRAVEL which issues the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) to
build a CCIE/ISIC-STA Scholarship Fund. For every card purchased at $ 22 -
with the CCIE stamp, STA will give CCIE a percentage that will go directly
into the Scholarship Fund.
Please consider
giving your students the ISIC card application (with the CCIE Stamp) for
your winter, Spring semester and summer programs. This can be done as part
of your program information packages, program application, any other
registration materials and at the orientation/information meetings.
Please keep me posted as to how many of your students have purchased the
ISIC card with the CCIE stamp so that we can use that number in calculating
the percentage of scholarship funds that will be allocated directly to your
college.
The more students that purchase the ISIC cards with the CCIE Stamp, the more
money we will have for scholarships !
You can have your
students order the ISIC card with the CCIE Stamp - directly off the CCIE
web-page - (under Study Abroad) or contact Stuart Walker
swalker@statravel.com with the
number that you need. Thank you again for helping to support CCIE
Please share information on CICE
member college programs
Several CCIE colleges
need a few extra students to help make their programs a success. Noteable:
Butte (Fall semester
in Costa Rica); Siskiyous (Summer in Spain); Cypress (Summer in Spain) and
Solano (Summer photography in Paris).
Please share
non-competing programs with your students

About The Scholar
Ship:
The Scholar Ship is a semester-long academic program aboard a dedicated
passenger ship that traverses the globe as an oceangoing campus. Students
and staff from around the world come together to form a transnational
learning community designed to develop their intercultural competence and
leadership skills.
The Scholar Ship is
an international education initiative developed in collaboration with seven
international universities and a host of multinational organizations. The
program's Consortium of Academic Stewards collaborates on the quality
oversight and accreditation of all academic offerings and standards.
Academic programs offered by The Scholar Ship meet the same quality
standards as those on the campuses of the Consortium's member institutions:
Al Akhawayn University (Morocco), Cardiff University (UK), Fudan University
(China), Macquarie University (Australia), Tecnológico de Monterrey
(Mexico), University of California, Berkeley (USA), and University of Ghana
(Ghana).
How to Apply:
Interested students who meet the scholarship requirements may complete a
Letter of Interest and essay, describing how their participation onboard The
Scholar Ship will be of benefit to them and prepare them for their future
career. Each award will be contingent on the student's admittance to The
Scholar Ship program. Students with financial need should indicate that in
their letters as well.
For more information and to access the Letter of Interest form, please
