Dear Colleagues at De La Salle University,
Good morning, my name is Ileah Barnes and I am the UMAP International Secretariat intern for Summer 2022. I am writing today to inform you of some exciting programs that your students can apply to right now!
The UMAP Discovery Camps are happening this summer and we would love your students to apply and participate.
Discovery Camp programs are fully paid for by the host institution while the students are in the program. This includes accommodation, food, and program activities. The student only needs to pay for transportation to/from the program destination, visas, insurance (travel / health, if required) and personal spending money.
We currently do not have any applications from students at your institution to participate in these programs. We would like to ensure that your institution is represented at the UMAP Discovery Camp’s this summer.
