Foreign Study
The Center of Latin American Studies provides foreign study and travel opportunities to area educators, and to graduate and undergraduate students. Guides and directories cataloged and kept at the Center contain additional information on jobs, internships, and study abroad programs in Latin America.

Graduate
KU has a long-standing exchange with the Universidad de Costa Rica. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese supports summer study programs in Vitoria, Brazil and Guadalajara, Mexico. Interested students are encouraged to participate.

Graduate students can undergo language training and conduct research throughout Latin America. The center has recently sent students to Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Funding is available on a competitive basis for foreign study through federal title VI FLAS Fellowships, grants from the Tinker Foundation, and Oppenheimer research grants. Most graduate students receive one or a combination of these to support their work. Students are encouraged to check with the graduate advisor on a regular basis for information on current sources of funding. The Office of Study Abroad can give up-to-date, specific information on language training programs in Latin America.

Undergraduate
The University of Kansas has agreements with universities around the world that allow KU students to pay their normal tuition while studying at a foreign university. A wide array of other opportunities are available, and all interested students should contact the Office of Study Abroad for additional information.

Educators
The Center of Latin American Studies will be accepting applications in the fall for its Fulbright Group Projects Abroad program that will take place in Guatemala in the summer of 2006. Please check in the fall for additional information.
