Dear Friends,

The HACU - Laureate International Scholarship Program (HLISP) was a two-year program created to increase study abroad opportunities for students around the country and increase awareness of the important role played by study abroad in higher education. In October 2007, the program will come to an end.

We want to thank all of you who played a key part in making this program a possibility and, through doing so, providing an impressive group of students from around the country with an opportunity to study abroad.

Please stay tuned to this website for information on new opportunities as they become available. For additional information on HACU, please visit www.hacu.net. For more information on Laureate International universities, please visit www.laureate.net.

Best regards,

HACU & Laureate International Universities
