Study Abroad & Gap Year Program Watch

Track study abroad and gap year programs for US students. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: application and scholarship deadlines within 60 days for Gilman, Fulbright, Boren, CLS, Rotary, NSLI-Y, CIEE, IES, SIT, AIFS, Semester at Sea, EF, Where There Be Dragons, Outward Bound and major university programs; program suspensions, cancellations and evacuations; student visa rule, fee, proof-of-funds and work permission changes in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Costa Rica, Mexico and Canada; working holiday visa openings, quotas and deadlines; State Department advisory changes for major student destinations; university credit transfer, fee and financial aid portability changes; enforcement actions against language schools and volunteer programs; and insurance and safety requirement changes. Prefer program pages, the State Department, foreign immigration sites, university offices and established education reporting; ignore program marketing and unverified posts. Put the program or country first in the title with the deadline or rule. Use high severity for a deadline within 14 days for a funded program, a suspension or evacuation, or a visa rule taking effect within 90 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who qualifies, how to apply, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
