Program Coordinators

As part of the Fellowship program, the Foundation also provides an excursion stipend to each student and on-site coordinators in Copenhagen, Madison, and Seattle to organize and lead several student directed cultural and experiential outings in the host country. The Foundation believes that the exchange experience is greatly enhanced by the ability to explore the host country.
