Join us for an information session on everything you need to know about pursuing a Global Independent Study (GIS) for Spring/Summer 2024! Whether you have already decided to apply for a GIS, or you're just hearing about it now, this information session is for you!
Through a Global Independent Study, incoming MSW students can receive grant funding to design and implement a social work project involving international travel. Students from all pathways and curriculum tracks are eligible to apply and will receive 1-3 elective credits upon successful completion of their project. Grant recipients will receive up to $2,500 to help offset the cost of their GIS experience.
This info session will provide an overview of the grant, explain the application process, and review travel considerations. We will also have a panel of returned Global Independent Study students share their GIS experiences from this summer, followed by Q&A.
