</font></div>
<font size=4 color="#FF0000"><u>The application process explained one
more time</u> -- <b><i>read this carefully</i></b></font><font size=3>,
because we have been hearing that there is much confusion out there about
how and where to apply for IEFP-ISA sponsored programs (a list of the
IEFP sponsored programs can be found at
http://www.yale.edu/isa/programs_iefp.html ). Share this
information with your roommates, neighbors, the student sitting next to
you in class. </font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><b>If you miss
IEFP's deadline (noon, Friday, February 24) you will not receive ISA
funding for summer 2006! <br>

1.You must apply to one of the IEFP designated programs by the program
deadlines (you can find deadlines on the program web sites -- see above
URL for a link to the programs). Note that sometimes the programs will
fill before the stated deadlines, so don't wait -- apply now!<br><br>
2.</font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><b>You <u>must</u> also apply to
IEFP using the Student Grants Database registration page, and IEFP's
application forms, by noon, Friday, February
24</b></font><font size=3>. Our forms are available at
<a href="http://www.yale.edu/isa/programs_iefp.html#IEFPapp_process" eudora="autourl">
http://www.yale.edu/isa/programs_iefp.html#IEFPapp_process</a>, and the
application checklist will link you to the Student Grants Database.
</font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><i><u>DO NOT</i> wait to be
admitted to your university/program of choice before applying to IEFP -
you must apply by our February 24 deadline or you will not receive the
ISA funding.<br><br>
</u></font><font size=3>3. Verify your eligibility for ISA funding, and
find out what percentage of the costs you are eligible for by contacting
Carolyn Falls in Student Financial Services (carolyn.falls@yale.edu).

<br>
</font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><b>A note about the February 24
deadline</font><font size=3>: </b>It will be <i>very very</i> busy in
IEFP on that date, so if you want to avoid standing in a long line of
students turning in ISA applications,
</font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><b><i>do not </i></b>wait until next
Friday – come in earlier in the week and save yourself time and
frustration!<br><br>
</font><font size=3><b>If you have
</font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><i>ANY</i></font><font size=3>
questions about the process, please call the office at 432-8684. It
may be possible to get clarification from Pam when you call, or she may
suggest you come in and meet with me. Do not let confusion over the
process stop you from receiving ISA funding to attend non-Yale summer
study abroad programs!<br><br>
