Candidates must have a minimum cumulative average of 75% and demonstrate financial need to participate in the experience.

Jon travelled extensively with his family from an early age and had developed an intense interest in nature, and the language and art of other cultures. As an undergraduate Architecture student, Jon was able to use these experiences to develop as an artist and designer, and continue to add new experiences through work and study terms in Sao Paulo, Vancouver, Paris, and Rome.
