Glimpse Writing Competition

Another exciting opportunity for Global Studies students!

Glimpse, a nonprofit website about the experiences of young Americans studying abroad, is offering students the opportunity to win a $600 stipend! Last year, Glimpse received over 600 applications, and chose nine exceptionally talented young writers and photographers, who are busy producing some great stories about getting to know camel merchants in Egypt, belly dancers in Cyprus, socialites in Swaziland… the list goes on and on!

The Glimpse Correspondents Program is for talented writers and photographers with a passion for storytelling and a knack for finding truly unique stories. The program is open to anyone who will be working, volunteering, or studying outside of their home country for at least 10 weeks. Correspondents receive the following benefits:

  • $600 stipend
  • Professional editorial support
  • Career training in travel writing and photography
  • Publication on Matador and Glimpse.org

Applications for the Fall 2012 Correspondents Program are now available on the Glimpse website.
