NSF Announces East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes for 2008

The National Science Foundation's East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) program offers U.S. graduate students in science and engineering a unique opportunity to study abroad for eight weeks with foreign researchers in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or Taiwan.

In 2008, the EAPSI awards will include a stipend of $5,000, an allowance for international travel and support to attend a pre-departure orientation in Washington, D.C. Foreign co-sponsoring organizations will provide additional support to cover EAPSI students' living expenses abroad.
