Complete this form for any Middlebury/MIIS-sponsored (funded, credited, supported, represented) program eight weeks before committing to the program.
Note:  

• There is no need to submit this form or undergo additional review if you are traveling alone to a Level 1 advisory country or a Level 2 advisory country with a Middlebury presence. See Middlebury’s International Travel Policy for more details.
• If a request is approved, it is approved under the conditions at the time of approval.  If a (new) travel advisory is issued or the security situation changes, the proposal must be reconsidered.
• Individuals must be legally authorized to work in the country where they will be employed, as well as have the proper immigration status. For non-citizens, this usually includes a work visa sponsored by a host country employer. If the proposal includes any hires (current Middlebury/MIIS personnel as well as new hires) who will be working and getting paid for their work abroad, you must contact Middlebury HR at hr@middlebury.edu, with a copy to Global Operations at global@middlebury.edu, to discuss a viable staffing option.

Middlebury is pleased to be a participating member of Projects for Peace, a program that honors Kathryn Wasserman Davis, a noted philanthropist who was interested in finding new ways to advance world peace.

Undergraduate students at more than 90 college campuses across the United States, including Middlebury, are eligible to design and submit proposals that serve local, domestic or global communities and address the goal of improving the prospects for peace in the 21st century.

The top submissions from the participating campuses, including at least one from Middlebury, will receive $10,000 in funding to initiate projects anywhere in the world during the summer of that year.

Projects for Peace has very specific guidelines for content and formatting which can be found here. Please read instructions carefully. 

The Collaborative on Conflict Transformation will support up to three global courses during the January, Spring, or Summer terms of 2025.   The goal is to connect global immersion with conflict analysis and transformation skills in our curriculum.

Please refer to the funding guidelines for information about eligibility, timeline, and application process.

The application deadline is April 5, 2024.
