SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES



MIUSA is currently accepting applications from young people with
disabilities to take part in an international exchange program June 20
- July 5, 2007 to Costa Rica, entitled the US/Costa Rica: Youth
Leadership and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Disability Rights
Exchange Program.  If you are a young person with a disability - or
know someone who is - between the ages of 18-24, from a culturally
diverse background and are an inexperienced international traveler we
encourage you to apply!  Travel with 12 other young leaders with
disabilities, live with a host family, take part in a service learning
project and practice Spanish through immersion!



MIUSA exchange programs are inclusive of people with all types of
disabilities, including people who are Deaf and hard of hearing, or
have cognitive, visual, physical, psychiatric, systemic, non-apparent,
or other types of disabilities. MIUSA will provide appropriate
accommodations to each qualified participant with a disability,
including ASL interpretation and alternative formats.



Application materials can be found at www.miusa.org/exchange, or
requested by e-mail at: exchange at miusa.org, or by Tel/TTY at:
541-343-1284.  Generous scholarships are available. Application
deadline is March 2, 2007.  Late applications will be accepted as
space permits.  Application materials are available in alternative
formats upon request.
