Gappl

It will be a few weeks before I leave for China, so I thought I would give some basic details about what I am doing and how I am doing it!

My decision to take a gap year started in March when I applied for the Global Gap Year Fellowship (click on the "Fellowship" tab), a brand new fellowship through UNC's Campus Y, a student service organization. This is the first year of the fellowship, and I have been selected along with four other future UNC students to recieve one of the few scholarships in the nation for students taking gap years. This fellowship is providing me with $7,500 to finance and organize a Gap year in which I focus on global service.
