L.T. Jordan Fellows Program

The L.T. Jordan Fellows Program provides highly qualified students personal enrichment and educational opportunities through an international cultural experience.  This is achieved by designing a specific independent international study or research project in another country that will enhance the participant's educational or career goals.  Fellows will receive grant monies (up to $2000) to assist with travel expenses.  This fellowship is designed for individual study or research and is not designed to fund a Study/Internship Abroad program.

Program Structure and Requirements

Pre-Travel

Upon completion of a rigorous application and interview process, a maximum of ten students are selected each fall as L.T. Jordan Fellows.  The Fellows are then recognized at a banquet with their guests, academic advisors, and Texas A&M University officials.  In preparation for this independent international travel, Fellows will participate in educational programs related to international topics, which may include monthly seminars, films, exhibits, and lectures.

Post-Travel

Upon return from his or her trip each fellow is required to:

• Write a 7-20 page report describing the experience.
(Here are the report requirements.)
• Deliver a 20-30 minute narrated slide presentation (PowerPoint with photographs is suitable) of his or her cultural experience and research during travel on the Texas A&M University campus.
• Present the Fellow’s cultural experiences at a local high school and during a brown bag discussion within the Fellow’s department.
