All students with sophomore or junior status majoring in Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics are eligible to apply. Sophomore and junior majors in Psychology, studying Physiological or Cognitive\/Neuropsychology, or in Anthropology, studying Biological Anthropology, Primatology or Archaeology, are also eligible to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funded by the Katrina Roch Seitz Science Education Fund, the Seitz Study Abroad Experience allows students to extend their science education outside the classroom. Expectations are that a student will have a science educational experience (short courses, special seminars&nbsp;or learning opportunities, etc.) along with an immersion into the language, history, culture, art, and economics of the country. The study abroad experience should provide an opportunity for the student to study, travel, and interact with students and scientists in a foreign country and gain an appreciation for the educational, cultural and economic environment of the country. Butler University&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/global-education.butler.edu\/\" title=\"Center for Global Education\">Center for Global Education<\/a> is available to help with arrangements for student housing, language instruction and travel, if needed. Students will be selected by a committee including department heads in the natural sciences and the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The number of student awards will be contingent on funds available. At the completion of the study abroad experience, the student will submit a written report to the Office of the Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences and be available to make an oral presentation to the Seitz family and the Butler community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-69a73ffede926-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-69a73ffede926_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-69a73ffede926-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do you need to do to apply?\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-69a73ffede926-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-69a73ffede926-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-69a73ffede926-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meet with your department head or advisor to discuss study\/research options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write a statement describing the nature of the academic experience and the importance of this experience to personal development and career plans\u2014no more than 2 pages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide a timeline of where you are going and what you intend to accomplish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop a budget estimating the cost of the trip (transportation expenses, lodging, registration fee, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Print a copy of your transcript from my.butler.edu and append it to your statement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If applicable, supply documentation showing that what you intend to do is feasible (e.g., you have a letter from a research lab welcoming you to their lab\/field station).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For travel to non-English-speaking countries, verification of language proficiency is required.
