  27. Global Statement of Purpose 2024 (750 words or less)



    Limit your Statement of Purpose to 750 words. Keep your essay focused, with concise and clear writing, proper grammar, and accurate spelling. Have someone review your essay with these requirements in mind. We strongly advise all students to take advantage of writing resources available on campus. In your essay, be specific about your individual reasons for studying abroad and how you hope to learn and grow from your time abroad. Use the questions below to guide your writing:

    How will studying abroad help you achieve your future academic, career, and/or personal goals? What examples of knowledge, skills, and experiences will you draw on to meet the challenges of going abroad?

    Why did you select your specific UCEAP program and host country?

    Are you a student with financial need or who identifies with a cohort that is traditionally underrepresented on study abroad programs? If so, please discuss how this has impacted your decision to study abroad.

    Traditionally underrepresented students on UCEAP programs include, but are not limited to, students who have transferred to the UC from a community college or state university, veterans, first-generation college students, students on programs where the majority of classes are taught in a language other than English, and students who spend a full year abroad (two semesters or three quarters).

  28. Statement of Academic Preparation (250 words or less)



    Tell us about your academic preparation for your time abroad. Explain how your major or focus of study is related to your host country and the opportunities available there. If your program is taught in English but you will live in a country where English is not the primary language, explain what you have done to prepare to live in this environment. If you have chosen your host country for a specific area of study, please indicate that and how you have prepared to take advantage of those courses.

    The preferred qualification for the scholarship is a 3.0 GPA. If you have a GPA below 3.0, please use the Statement of Academic Preparation to explain why your GPA is below the requirement.
