Just one proposal per student, I'm afraid. We'd rather you chose a project you liked and believed in, and come up with the best proposal you can fo rit. - (if i were to be selected and finish the job) what kind of > visa/passport/etc. do one need to come to the USA (I'm living in > France) - but i guess i can find this on the Internet - and to what > extent will you pay the flight/food/housing/etc. fees ? We will pay for the travel and your stay. I don't expect we'll pay for all of your meals, but we'll have a few dinners for the group. As for the visa issue, my expectation is that students will figure this out on their own. I suspect that for the most part I believe a tourist visa should do, but I don't really know the details, and it will no doubt vary from country to country.
