uments/abroad/DiversityApplication.pdf). Please contact the Study Abroad & International Exchanges Oce, Family Food Science, room 119,

Our Faculty led trips were previously awarded IRA funding as a group, so students do not need to apply on an individual basis. Refer to your
Faculty leader, listed on our website (http://www.fresnostate.edu/cge/international/travel/index.html) for additional information. It is under the Faculty
leader’s discretion as to who will receive IRA grants from their trip.
Funding preference is given to study abroad programs, or individuals, that are not already receiving funds from any other Instructionally Related
Activities (IRA) projects. Students are expected to share what they gain from their study abroad experience with fellow students and faculty upon
their return via a follow-up service project.

1) Statement of Purpose addressing the impact that this study abroad program will
have on you and 2) Service Project Proposal on how you plan to share your study abroad experience with student groups, in a classroom, or at a
promotional event. Explain how you will inspire others to participate in a study abroad program if given the opportunity to share your experiences.
