Nursing in Australia
My name is Christina & I am 22 years old. I received my invite in the mail a few days ago for June 3-13th. Im currently in the process of typing up a letter to send out, in hopes of finding some sponsors. Im a single mother & do not have that type of money, but this trip appears to be an amazing & life altering experience. I would REALLY love to hear from anyone who has participated in this trip before, or anyone who is currently considering this opportunity :]

I dont major in business
I was recently invited to join the International Scholar Laureate Program, Student Delegation on Diplomacy & International Relations in China, but Im not majoring in anything that has to do with business. Im currently majoring in Nursing and will be graduating in June 2012, I would be intrested in attending the ISLP in Australia for Nursing and/or Medicine. Would this be at all possible or are you locked into what ever you were invited to?

Nursing in Australia :)
Hey everyone!! I'm Christine and I'm 21. I am planning on attending the nursing delegation in Australia June 3-13 :) BUT...I am in the middle of doing my scholarships; do I have to enroll before I apply for scholarships? Or can I apply first? Who else is going for nursing on the first session?? I'd love to hear from you! cdelke@stu.clcillinois.edu =]
Nursing in Australia
Hi Christine,
Congratulations on your ISLP selection! You are not required to enroll before applying for a scholarship but we do encourage students to enroll as quickly as possible as our sessions do fill quickly. Also, keep in mind that our scholarships are very competitive so if finances are a concern for you then I would suggest taking a look at our fundraising guide to explore this option as well.
Best of luck and we look forward to welcoming you in Australia!

Australia 2012
Hey ya'll,
I received my nomination packet yesterday for the nursing program in Australia. It sounds like a really great opportunity. I was wondering if my husband would be able to come, and if so, how this would work? I understand that space is limited, and that I should enroll as soon as I can, but I'm not sure I can afford it.
Thanks,
Susan

Hello everyone,
I am having the same problem as Nancy, my attendance in the program is dependent on the scholarship financial help. However, the enrollment deadline is before they notify our scholarship results. I would appreciate any comments or help regarding this issue.
Thanks!
Funds
Congratulations on your selection!
This is a very common question. If your ability to attend the program is 100% dependant on receiving a scholarship, then I would suggest that you hold off on enrolling until you receive the results. Please keep in mind though that our sessions do fill very quickly and there is a risk of your preferred session being full should you decide to hold off on enrollment. Many students in similar situations have decided to take advantage of our fundraising guide in the “Students” section of this website in order to raise part or all of the money for tuition. This is my best suggestion for you as students are often surprised by their success fundraising for the program.
Best of luck and we hope to see you at ISLP in June!

Medicine Program
I'm interested in participating in the International Scholar Laureate Program, however my interest in medicine is limited to veterinary practice. Would this career choice be accommodated with the program or is it strictly aimed to pre-medical students? Thank you for your help.
Medicine Program
Hi lnekota,
We do not offer curriculum specifically geared towards veterinary practice, but our Medicine delegations are aimed at giving students a broad overview of the field of medicine in the chosen host country.

Hello Everyone.
I had the same questions about the mess up with the enrollment. So I sent them an email, and I guess they had a malfunction. Everything should be working now. Just a heads up.

Enrollment for 2012 Delegation on Diplomacy in China
Hello, I am very interested in enrolling for the 2012 Delegation on Diplomacy in China! However, I am running into the same problem as the user Jerusha-- when I input my information, I'm directed to the Session Selection page, but there is no option to choose China's Delegation on Diplomacy, only business options. Have the spots all been taken?

Hello,
I was wondering if I can bring my spouse for this trip or do I need to travel alone? If so, can he participate in all accommodations that are provided for me with my tuition? Thanks

Question About 2012 Delegation on Diplomacy in China
Hello,
I have recently received an email saying that I was nominated for the Delegation on Diplomacy & International Relations next June in China. I would love to attend this program, because I am extremely interested in the areas of world relations and ambassador work.
I went to the enrollment page, and placed my information - but the page I came to only has Medical programs listed for China and Australia. Where do I go to sign up for the Diplomacy and International Relations in China program? Also, is there anything specific I need to do to apply for a scholarship for this particular program?
Thank you,
~Jerusha~

Enrollment
Hello,
I was wondering if there are any fees associated with enrollment. Unfortunately, I would not be able to attend this experience without support from a scholarship. I have just filled out the scholarship application, but I noticed that the deadline for enrollment is due prior to the time I would find out if I were approved. If anyone can answer this for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Questions about Austrailia
Hi Everyone! My name is Kate Darby, and I am from Ark City, Kansas.
I would like to enroll in the June of 2012 trip to Austrailia, however the only one that seems to be available is China. Am I doing something wrong? Also, do I need to come up with the funds to fly to sydney, or just to one of the stateside airports?
Thank you in advance.

Help with filling out scholarship application
I just got my letter in the mail today and I'm very excited and hope I will be able to come up with the funding to go! I am trying to fill out the scholarship form, and it is asking me for my estimated travel expenses, and I don't know what to put down!
I can't find anywhere where it says where we are leaving from, and I need to know this in order to figure out how much it will cost me to fly there from California.
Also, it wants up to put in how much we will be getting from fundraising and family contributions, but how am I supposed to do that? I don't even know yet!
And does the college credit and extension program get covered by the scholarship? Or are we 100% responsible for those if we choose them?
Re: Help with filling out scholarship application
Congratulations on your selection!
Do not stress out too much on these costs as both of these simply need to be estimates. The best way to estimate flight costs would be to use a site such at www.kayak.com and input your home airport as well as your arrival city. If you click on "Our Programs" at the top of this page and select your preferred delegation, the arrival city should be listed for you.
Best of luck!

Hi:
I'm currently enrolled in the program.
I'm wondering if we need to book the airplane ticket to the destination country on our own or if the ticket is included in the tuition.
I have a Chinese visa, so can you please tell me how can I apply the Austrilia visa?
Is it possible to change to another country after I paid the full tuition?
Thanks for answering.
Payment/ Trip Questions
Hello,
I was just nominated for the scholar laureate program. I would like to go to the China trip in June 2012. I have a few questions.
1. If we apply for scholarships do we wait to get the results of the scholarship before we pay?
2. If we do not have any of the money now, but will have it in a few months, when is the actual deadline to pay everything at one time? Example (can I pay in full in March 2012).
3. Will I be notified before I make a payment if there is no more space left?
4. Are there any specific immunizations that we must receive before traveling to china?
5. How do we pay for the shuttle service? Do we do this when making the reservations with the airline?
6. Will we be staying in a hotel (China style) with very small beds or an American Style hotel?
Thank You
Mourica
Question about the programs?
Hi, I'm really interested in enrolling, but my major is not part of one of your delegations. Once I transfer to a four year school I'm planning to major in ASL-English interpretation, so is there any way I can fit in with any of the programs?
Thanks,
Kelsey
Certificate of completion

I have recently being trying to find my certificate of completion for the Delegation in Medicine in China (30 May session), and have realised that it has been misplaced in transit and I really need a copy or a new one.

Please let me know
Much appreciated

College Credit
I was wondering what essay we have to write and where do I find it online in order to receive college credit since I've already completed the program. Thanks.
Re: College Credit
Hi,
Unfortunately, the terms and conditions of the college credit (including the essays) must be completed within two weeks of the completion of the Program. You will be refunded the price of the college credit.

Documents
Hi Lisa!
Do we have to bring documents such as our acceptance letters to the program etc.
Also since we are going to be living in university accommodations should we bring sheets and things like that or will they be provided? Because as far as I know university dorms do not provide sheets etc.
Thanks!
Re: Documents
Hi Deborah,
No, you don't have to bring paperwork like that to the program.
Bed linens and towels are provided, but you should bring toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc.
Cheers,
Lisa
