International Summer Award Reminder
If you wish to receive ISA funding for a non-Yale summer study abroad 
program, you not only have to apply to the study abroad program itself, you 
also have to complete the ISA registration/application forms for IEFP.  See 
the IEFP web site for ISA application/registration process (and the forms 
you need to complete) as well as for the list of the non-Yale programs for 
which you may receive ISA 
funding  http://www.yale.edu/isa/programs_iefp.html.  You must submit the 
registration/application forms to IEFP by noon, February 24 in order to 
receive ISA funding.  Late forms will not be accepted.

Yale University Joint Program in Beijing, including a completed Dean's

Thouron Prize Deadline (Spend the summer at Cambridge University!)
Don't forget -- the Thouron Prize application deadline is February 1.  You 
will need a strong faculty recommendation for this prize, so do not wait 
until the last minute to pull together this application.  Information on 
the Thouron can be found at 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/fellowships/individual/thouron.html

Will study abroad hurt my chances of being elected to Phi Beta Kappa?
No!  If you take courses abroad in an approved program which is counted as 
a full term, but where grades do not count for PBK because the program is 
not Yale affiliated, you are not at a statistical disadvantage for election 
to PBK.  Why not?  Because what ultimately will count will be the 
percentage of A grades of those courses you have taken at Yale.  Of course, 
if you stay here you do have the change to earn more As, but then you also 
have to earn more of them because you will be taking more courses!  It is 
the percentage of A grades of all courses taken that counts.

site  http://www.yale.edu/pbk/electioninfo.html

  New ISA option for majors and intended majors in film studies
A program at the Beijing Film Academy has just been included on the IEFP

to major in, film studies, and receive financial aid from Yale this 
semester, should take a look at the ISA and the UWashington/Beijing Film 
Academy web sites.
