Undergraduate and graduate students may participate from any major, but they must have interest in Rural Sustainability in Agriculture or Aquaculture. Student travel and living expenses will be paid from the grant. Students will pay tuition and related mandatory fees (e.g. student union, recreation and athletic, library, information technology, registration, etc.) to Virginia Tech during the exchange.
