Welcome to the 2024 Astronomy in Chile Educator Ambassadors Program (ACEAP) Application. We are excited that you have decided to apply for the program, and we look forward to reviewing your application.

We encourage you to print out the application and review the questions, and take your time to prepare your thoughtful responses using MS Word or something similar. This will make it easy for you to spell- check and monitor your character count, etc. Once you have completed your responses, return to the online application and copy/paste your responses into the appropriate fields.
NOTE: Please pay close attention to the character/word limits that have been placed on responses. You may NOT exceed the maximum number of characters permitted for any response. Pay particular attention when you copy and paste, to make sure your entire response has been entered into the space allowed.

ALL applications MUST be submitted by 11:59 PM (your local time) on Friday, May 31, 2024. Extensions will not be granted. We anticipate notifying applicants of their status by mid-late August 2024. Those fully supported by their institution or self-funding will be notified by August 1 of their status.
NOTE: While we anticipate NSF will continue support of the ACEAP program, NSF funding has not yet been secured.
