US EMBASSY OPENS APPLICATIONS FOR STUDY TOUR
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- The US Embassy here and the Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State are inviting
applications from local undergraduates to attend a four-week study tour of the
United States.
The Study of the US Institute (SUSI) for Student Leaders on Global
Environmental Issues is hosted by the East-West Centre in Honolulu, Hawaii, the
embassy said in a statement.
"The four-week academic residency will consist of a balanced series of
seminars, discussions, readings, group presentations and lectures," it said.
The academic residency will be complemented by a four-day educational tour
that will take participants to San Francisco, California, where they will meet
with local, state, private and non-profit organisations working in the field.
The study will conclude with a three-day programme in Washington.
The embassy said participants were expected to be highly motivated and
exemplary Malaysian undergraduates aged between 18 and 25 from colleges,
universities and other institutions of higher education.
"While all candidates will have a strong interest in the environment, their
fields of study might vary and can include disciplines such as Agriculture,
Biology, Ecotourism, Engineering, Environmental Law, Environmental Science, International Affairs, Public Policy, Sustainable Development or others," it said.
The deadline for applications is Dec 15 and the programme details and electronic application forms can be viewed and downloaded from http://malaysia.usembassy.gov, the statement said.
Information could also be obtained from Cultural Affairs Assistant Helena Bridget of the US Embassy at 03-21685106, fax: 03-21685158 or e-mail to Public.
