UPDATE: The 2008 scholarship winners have now been chosen! Please visit our Students Page for more information.
We are delighted to launch our environmentally conscious GreenTicket Scholarship Program. This is a chance for students to earn a valuable scholarship towards an enriching summer study abroad experience, while at the same time making a positive impact on important environmental and social issues!
We are currently offering one full GreenTicket Scholarship (all expenses paid) and two partial GreenTicket Scholarships (airfare paid) to Abbey Road Programs for the summer of 2008.
Students ages 14-18 who have demonstrated their commitment to the environment through their schoolwork or extracurricular activities are eligible for the GreenTicket Scholarship Program. By participating in this program you are showing us that you are socially responsible and you care about our planet.
You are eligible for the GreenTicket Scholarship Program if you have done significant work in any of the following categories:
Environmental issues: global warming, bio-diversity, eco-system preservation, toxic waste reduction, deforestation, energy conservation, recycling
Friends of the earth: agriculture, farming, and food
Wildlife: preservation of endangered species, including marine life and national parks
Any other projects that help to preserve and restore the earth
In order to apply, you will be required to submit an essay of 300-500 words, telling us about your commitment to being “Green”. Please indicate the country where you would like to spend your summer abroad and summarize your foreign language experience. In addition, we will need your school transcript and 2 letters of recommendation from those who supervised your work in the above mentioned areas. You may also include any special awards or commendations that you have received for your efforts.
All essays, school transcripts, and recommendation letters will be reviewed by the Abbey Road Student Admissions Staff and must be submitted no later than April 1, 2008.
