The United States-Indonesia Society (USINDO) runs an intensive ten-week language and general studies program from June to August held at Gadjah Mada University for U.S. students and recent graduates selected in a competitive application process. The deadline for submitting an application is March 15, 2012.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and undergraduate college seniors, enrolled in a graduate or postgraduate degree program, or recent graduates of any tertiary educational institution (within 6 months). Applicants will be judged by the clarity of communication in their personal statements and by their demonstrated interest in Indonesia. A good academic record will be required as well as a demonstrated interest and success in learning languages. Previous foreign travel is desirable but not necessary. Stated career plans will be judged in part on the likelihood that such a career will involve communicating knowledge of Indonesia to a broader audience.

All application documentations must be submitted via email to summerstudies@usindo.org. In addition to the Application Cover Page, students are required to submit a 1-page personal statement, resume, transcripts, and one letter of recommendation.

For complete information on the program, including costs and eligibility requirements, please visit the USINDO website. Additional questions can be directed to summerstudies@usindo.org, or call 202.232.1400.
