Step 2 - Approval and next steps: Once your KSC application is reviewed and approved a GEO advisor will reach out to:
- Discuss how your program choice aligns with your academic, personal, and financial goals
- Guide you through the program/host institution’s application process
- Walk you through preparation steps for your upcoming study away experience
