> Dear Colleagues,
>
> I would like to bring to your attention a funding program available  
> through the National Science Foundation (NSF) called the East Asia  
> and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI). The EAPSI program offers  
> U.S. graduate students in science and engineering a unique  
> opportunity to study abroad with foreign researchers (in Australia,  
> China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, or Taiwan) for 8 weeks  
> during the summer. In 2008, the EAPSI awards will include a stipend  
> of $5,000, an allowance for international travel, and support to  
> attend a pre-departure orientation in Washington DC. Foreign co- 
> sponsoring organizations will provide additional support to cover  
> EAPSI students' living expenses abroad.
>
> I have initiated the outreach phase for our 2008 summer program.  
> Attached to this e-mail is a copy of our 2008 EAPSI flyer. The link  
> to the EAPSI website is http://www.nsf.gov/eapsi. Please distribute  
> this information to graduate students who may have an interest in  
> the program. If you would like to receive hard copies of the EAPSI  
> flyer or the EAPSI poster for your program or institution, please  
> provide me your mailing address and I will ensure that copies are  
> mailed to you.
>
> Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about  
> the EAPSI program. I hope very much to see applications from  
> graduate students at your institution.
>
> Thank you in advance for your assistance.
