The Michigan Branch/the University of Michigan (UM) will host a graduate student from the University of Cape Town (UCT), and UCT will welcome a UM undergraduate for the year. The Cornell Branch/Cornell University will send one student to Central European University (CEU), and CEU will host a Cornell student on their campus in Budapest. Scholarships cover one year of non-degree study, in addition to room and board, health insurance, travel to and from the exchange country, an allowance for books, and a living stipend. The 2008-2009 Miller Scholars will be announced soon. |
