University of Oregon International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) 2024: (Deadline 16 February, 2024)

ICSP is a unique program where student recipients provide valuable cross-cultural exchange opportunities for our university and the local community. This program is vital to our mission of global education.

International Cultural Service Program brings together a selected group of University of Oregon international students to provide Eugene, Springfield and surrounding communities with valuable global education and cross-cultural exchange opportunities. Participants provide cultural and educational services to the community in return for scholarship assistance. Services typically include in-person or virtual presentations about aspects of their home culture on campus and to community groups such as K-12 schools, elder care settings and other community organizations.

The program was created by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education in 1982, and is currently funded by the University of Oregon with internal fee remission resources provided by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, and administered by the International Student and Scholar Services unit in the Division of Global Engagement.
