Dr. Erik B. Young wishes to support international travel-study
for a group of undergraduates each year through the Erik B. Young, M.D.
International Travel-Study Awards. The purpose of the program is to give
deserving undergraduate students the opportunity to broaden their
international horizons while they hone their academic skills. The
procedure for selecting and granting the awards appears below.
1. Each college can submit one undergraduate student nomination for the
award. The student should be junior or senior during the 2009-2010
academic year.
2. Each interested student will submit an application form, from this
web site, electronically to his/her college dean’s office as selected on
the application.
3. Each student will also submit a short proposal outlining the purpose
of his/her proposed international study, what he/she hopes to achieve
from the program and how the experience will benefit the student in
his/her professional career. Proposals will be strictly limited to five
(5) pages. Students are advised to complete and save proposals
independently of this process then cut-and-paste the proposal into this
web form.
4. The college nominating the student must submit one letter of
recommendation (from a professor who has personal knowledge of the
student’s capabilities) in support of the student’s application.
5. Applications will be submitted electronically to college deans’
offices by Friday, February 6, 2009. College deans must submit complete
nomination packets (including application, proposal and recommendation
letter) to Linda Clement, Vice President for Student Affairs, by
February 16th at lclement@umd.edu.
6. A decision on the awards will be announced by Friday, March 13, 2009.
All recipients of this award will be required to write a summary of
their experience for the selection committee to review and to forward on
to Erik B. Young, M.D.
The student application process has concluded for the 2009-2010 academic year. Interested students may apply early next Spring 2010 semester for the 2010-2011 academic year.
