ACUCA STUDENT MOBILITY SCHEME

Reply Proforma

Established in 2002, the ACUCA Student Mobility Scheme aims to foster a better understanding of Asian communities and cultures among ACUCA students. Under the Scheme, member institutions that have courses taught in English in either regular semester or summer sessions will exchange tuition waivers to enable students to study tuition-free at an institution outside of their own country for a semester or during the summer. ACUCA assistance will come in the form of an airfare subsidy.
