Application & deadlines
The
fall deadline for GO! and Fritz Scholarship applications is Thursday,
November 7 at 5pm. The application is available online starting October
1 at
http://goglobal.uw.edu/apply.php. It requires an 800-word essay (see
http://goglobal.uw.edu/faqs.php)
but no letters of recommendation. Students studying abroad in winter
or spring 2014 should apply at this deadline; those studying abroad in
summer, early fall, or fall 2014 will
apply at our late April 2014 deadline. We expect to be able to notify
November applicants about whether they have been selected to receive a
scholarship by early December.
