Dear students,
Grand Challenges Impact Lab (GCIL) is currently recruiting students for Study Abroad in India in Winter 2026. Please apply!
GCIL-India offers hands-on, project-based learning about Grand Challenges and social innovation. GCIL meets the CEE capstone requirement and the CEE 440 2cr Professional Practice class; remaining credits count as CEE technical electives.
Information:
GCIL includes a 1-credit Autumn-quarter course in Seattle, and a 10-week, 15-credit Winter-quarter course (January – March) in Bangalore, India.
The program cost is approximately $7,000. For many UW students, this is less expensive than if you stay in Seattle. UW Study Abroad offers substantial scholarships. If you have financial aid at UW, it generally applies to study abroad.
GCIL is open to junior and senior undergraduate students and graduate students from any discipline. Applications are due soon: May 15, via the UW Study Abroad website.
Invite your friends to apply too! (A great way to make GCIL even better is to invite other fun, interesting people to join you in applying!)
