The itinerary is the latest plan representative of our intentions and is still under development. The hosts’ availability may change and we may change our schedule to accommodate their availability or even switch speakers. We may also move things around depending on the situation. Think of this as an idea of what the trip will look like, and the itinerary will be continuously updated when the plans are firmed up.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer<\/strong>: The budget below is a good-faith estimate<\/strong> of the costs incurred during this trip for courses of ENGR 365 & HIST 308. The items can change (to be only lower than the estimate<\/strong>, never higher) as actual costs become known. We have given our best estimate, and we will do whatever we can to minimize the costs while maximizing your experience. The cost estimates are based on 5 students on the trip. We can have up to 6 students, when the costs will be lower.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: WCU reserves the right to cancel or alter the course format or to change costs as situations require.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t

Note<\/strong>: If you qualify, these costs (both the part you pay to WCU at OneStop and the part you pay by yourself) are covered by financial aid<\/strong> (6 credits from WCU in summer makes you eligible for financial aid). The local meals in Bulgaria are not as costly as in the U.S., so your total actual cost can be much lower. If you have a passport already, you don’t need to pay for its application again, but the passport fee will still be included in the self-responsible budget. We have estimated the self-responsible budget at the higher end to ensure your financial aid covers everything, and everyone’s actual costs could vary.<\/p>\n

Contact Ms. Emily McLeod<\/a> (Email her at eamcleod@wcu.edu<\/a> or go to the Financial Aid Office at Camp 104 M-F 8am-5pm) and review the financial aid procedure<\/a> document for more info. Be sure to email from your Catamount email and include your 92 number.<\/p>\n

Please consider applying for the Gilman Scholarship, which has recently relaxed its trip duration requirement, so that you are eligible now. Please refer to the costs FAQ section for more details.<\/p>\n

Application<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”How do I apply?” admin_label=”Toggle: how to apply” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The application is located in the bottom section of Application<\/a>, where there are two Qualtrics survey links (the unofficial one goes to Dr. Yan directly, which helps Dr. Yan to know your background immediately, and the official one goes to WCU Global Office, which is required for your admission into this travel course). A short interview will be arranged after Dr. Yan gets your unofficial application and you will be informed soon whether you can join this course or not.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”When are the trip applications due? ” admin_label=”Toggle: when to apply” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The deposit for application is due on Jan 15.<\/p>\n

However, the estimated costs are based on early booking (buying flight ticket and booking some lodging in Jan, etc.), and the later it goes, the higher the costs will be. Meanwhile, booking flight tickets and train tickets requires your passport number. If you want to join this course, you need to get your passport ready by then.<\/p>\n

You are highly encouraged to talk to Dr. Yan in person to make a decision on whether you can\/want to join the travel course as soon as possible, and then apply early.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Is there an application fee to join this travel course?” admin_label=”Toggle: application free” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\nNo. Application is free. Still, apply for this course only if you really plan to go.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”When will we hear back if we are selected to go on the study abroad trip?” admin_label=”Toggle: when to hear back” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Dr. Yan will review the applications and may invite students for a short interview. Following the interview, students will be notified about whether they are accepted to the course or not.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Is this class only for engineering and technology majors?” admin_label=”Toggle: open to all” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\nDefinitely not. This class is open to all students interested in learning more about other cultures. Engineering and technology is ubiquitous in our daily lives, and its accelerated development in the last decade makes it even more relevant to everyone now than ever.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How many students get to go and how are they selected? ” admin_label=”Toggle: cap” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This year the overall cap is 6 students<\/strong> and the budget is based on 5 students. When there are 6 students, the budget per each student will be lower.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Can I still take this class if…” admin_label=”Toggle: can I still take it?” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Can I still take this class if I don’t go to WCU, if I’m graduating in May, or if I graduated already?<\/p>\n

Yes, you can. You just need to apply to WCU as “transient student,” and there’s a $50 charge to the Admissions Office to do that. For more details, see the Admissions Office’s information about transient students<\/a>. For WCU graduates, your 92 number will basically be reauthorized for summer session and you’ll be registered\/billed for the course just like anyone else. For non-WCU students, the process is a little more involved, but it’s mostly just paperwork.<\/p>\n

Costs and Financial Aid (Pre-Trip)<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”I have a question about financial aid. Who do I contact? ” admin_label=”Toggle: financial aid contact” module_id=”contact_financial_aid” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Contact Ms. Emily McLeod<\/a> (Email her at eamcleod@wcu.edu<\/a> or go to the Financial Aid Office at Camp 104 M-F 8am-5pm) and review the financial aid procedure<\/a> document for more info. Be sure to email from your Catamount email and include your 92 number.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Are there scholarships available to help pay for the trip? ” admin_label=”Toggle: potential scholarship” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Potentially there are some study-abroad scholarships from multiple organizations, but at this moment there is no such scholarship (free-money) from WCU. One option is to check with WCU’s Office of International Programs Services (IPS). They have a list of common scholarships<\/a> for which students may qualify.<\/p>\n

The trip length requirement on the Gilman <\/a>Scholarship<\/a> has relaxed, and you can now apply for it<\/span>. You need to write two essays and plan a service project to share information about the Gilman Scholarship<\/span> when you return from the trip but it\u2019s absolutely worth it. WCU typically had about 3 recipients each year when the trip length needed to be 6 months or more. Now that this scholarship has removed the trip length requirement, you can apply. You can contact <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”When are payments due? ” admin_label=”Toggle: payment due” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

A $500 non-refundable deposit (unless the trip is cancelled then the deposit will be returned) is required by Jan 15. All remaining travel costs are due by mid-March (unless covered by financial aid; Financial aid payments are made 9 days before trip departure).<\/p>\n

If the deposit is paid at the WCU IPS website, a 3% fee is charged, and the transaction fee is not counted towards the course expense. You will see a total of $515 on their website, but only $500 is counted towards the trip expense. You may contact WCU Global Office to pay by cash or money order to avoid the transaction fee.<\/p>\n

Details will be provided once the number of students is set.
