CEO Approval
Business Outlook
Pros
Having the ability to connect with global leaders in various industries
Travelling, getting to know a new country, all the while getting paid to do so
Loan deferment for those who need it
Become familiar with a different cultural background, even among different backgrounds of the United States
Cons
Travelling abroad comes with its usual culture shock, periods of depression, and doubt. It is easy for some to get over this, harder for others, and some people just refuse to adapt to cultural differences.
This grant attracts brilliant minds, but you may have to work with pretentious/entitled co-grantees. Ego tended to be a present problem during my year.
