Cost
Cost of the 2012 program is $260 per person.
This fee includes all meals, transportation and costs throughout
the program. We do recommend that participants have extra spending
money for evening activities. The PuLSE Office is able to waive
participant fees for five (5) students. To be considered,
you must qualify for a Pell Grant and/or an Indiana State
Grant.
Registration
Participation in the 2012 Ambassadors of Change program is
limited to 66 students. Applications for August 2012 will be
posted in late spring.
Selection/Participation
Selection of participants is based on the answers on the
application. If accepted into the program, you will be contacted
via email. Payment of $260 must be received within 1 week of
acceptance email receipt. If payment is not received, your space
will be given to someone on the waitlist.
Students who are not initially accepted will be placed on a
waitlist. In the event that someone decides not to participate in
the program, the selection committee will contact students on the
waitlist.
Participants will have be assigned to a small group led by a
returning student leader. Each group will focus on a specific
social issue. Students have the ability to rank their issue
choices on their application.
Participation in all program activities is expected.
Students in the AOC program will not be able to join other
programs, practices, or meetings during the AOC week (evenings
included).
