Social Sciences International Ambassador Program
The Social Sciences International Ambassador Program awards stipends to select social sciences majors who choose to study abroad and are willing to conduct interviews with leaders in their host countries. Today’s Social Sciences International Ambassadors will be tomorrow’s community and world leaders.

- Each student will be assigned an alumni mentor in the host country and will have the opportunity to engage in dialogues with people in arts, business, public service, science or sports.
- The students will share their experiences upon returning to Rice.
