- have a demonstrated interest/commitment to sustainability (shown through application essays), including concrete action plans during their program to continue this commitment

Give Back
Recipients are required to uphold their commitment toward sustainability abroad during their program. Students will be allowed to propose their give-back activity while also being given guidance on options including but not limited to:
- Choosing to volunteer onsite in support of local sustainability efforts;
- Joining or participating in a related co-curricular opportunity on the program like a campus sustainability group, taking part in program sustainability events, etc.
