GCC Postponed for 2020-2021 

Message on GCC
As the university and the rest of the country continue to navigate these uncertain times, international education professionals across campus and around the world are working hard to ensure that when it’s safe to travel again, we will all be prepared for it. 

Our GCC programs are created to tie closely with a course students take during the winter term on campus with an experiential component that relies on close engagement with host communities. Due to the early nature of winter term planning for both faculty and students, CGIS will not offer any GCC programs for the 2020-2021 academic year. 

We hope to resume our GCC programs in the 2021-2022 academic year. Note that program topics, locations, and faculty change year to year. Please check back in Summer 2021 for more information.

Global Course Connections (GCC) programs include two components: an on-campus course during winter semester and a 3-4 week off-campus field experience that takes place during the following summer. The field experience is a short extension of the on-campus course during which particular themes and topics introduced on campus are explored.

Scholarships & Funding

The LSA Study Abroad scholarship
Last year, the LSA Scholarship Office awarded over $1.7 Million in LSA Scholarships to students participating in CGIS programs. Over 95% of eligible LSA applicants received an LSA Study Abroad Scholarship ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Students should apply for the LSA Study Abroad Scholarship at the same time they apply for the program. Scholarships are granted based on financial need and may only be applied to one program per spring/summer period. Click here to apply to the LSA Study Abroad Scholarship! 

Are you an LSA Pell Grant Recipient?
All LSA Pell Grant recipients who participate in GCC can receive the GCC Grant. The grant pays the entire program fee for GCC, but students MUST apply for the LSA Study Abroad Scholarship. Applicants will also be considered for other scholarships that cover travel expenses.

Do you receive financial aid?
Did you know that most U-M-awarded financial aid—grants, loans, and scholarships—may be used to help defray global study program cost? Students who receive financial aid during the school year are eligible to carry over their financial aid package abroad. LSA students who receive financial aid should also apply for the LSA Study Abroad Scholarship for assistance with program fees and travel expenses. Visit the Office of Financial Aid website at finaid.umich.edu for details on how to apply a financial aid package toward a study abroad experience.

Additional Funding

For non-LSA students or students who don't receive financial aid on campus but need additional financial support to study abroad, there are scholarship opportunities! Some funding opportunities are open to all U-M students, while others specify criteria that limit eligibility. Visit lsa.umich.edu/cgis/funds for more information on other U-M Scholarships and national scholarships!
