Study Stateside

The Study Stateside Program is a summer experiential learning opportunity that will offer students a chance to travel throughout the United States, and earn 6 hours of course credits.

Overview

In the 2019 Study Stateside experience, students will take U.S. History II (HIST 1302) and American Minorities (HUMA 2319) directly engaging in the richly diverse regional history and culture within our own borders.

Eligibility

NVC’s Study Stateside is a competitive, merit-based program accepting students who are responsible, motivated, and demonstrate academic excellence. Only 8 students will be selected to participate in the program. You must meet the following qualifications to apply:

• Be enrolled at one of the Alamo Colleges
• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (incoming freshmen may use Fall 2018 GPA)
• Recommended by a faculty member (letter of recommendation)

Cost

The cost of the program per student is $2000 not including tuition; however, the courses taught in Study Stateside are eligible for the Momentum Program.

What’s included in the cost?

The $2000 will cover your travel expenses (12-passenger van/gasoline), hotel (double occupancy), and tickets/fees to all historic sites and museums. Breakfast will be provided by the hotels, and there will be a few selected meals paid for by the program, but you will need to pay for most of your own meals as we go.

Scholarships/Funding

There will be fund raising and scholarship opportunities available to students accepted into the program, which will bring down the $2000 cost for students participating in these opportunities.
