\n2014 US-Brazil Connect Fellowship Program!For the second year, NMC is offering an exciting foreign study and cultural exchange opportunity with US-Brazil Connect (USBC). Students (Fellows) will travel to beautiful Brazil in the summer of 2014, where they will assist in teaching English skills to high school students, take part in enriching travel excursions and educational activities, make life-long friends and invaluable cross-cultural connections, and experience one of the most gracious and vibrant societies in modern Latin America.<\/p>\n

Students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. Prior experience in teaching English as a second language is not required; however, applicants ought to be flexible, motivated, open-minded, enthusiastic, and team-oriented. A comprehensive information and application packet is attached to this email. Please read through all materials carefully prior to submission. Application deadline is January 24, 2014; please turn the packet in to Outreach Services in West Hall.<\/p>\n

Approximate cost for this wonderful four week experience, after being awarded an NMC Global Opportunities Scholarship (see application attached), including airfare, some meals, excursions, in-country transport, and ground support, will be approximately $1,000.<\/p>\n

Dates for the experience are tentatively June 15-July 15, and the chosen city will be either Belo Horizonte or Recife.<\/p>\n
