The 2020 ACEAP Expedition to Chile will take place August 9 – August 17, and is open to US and international participants. Here are the basics:

* The 2020 ACEAP Team will include a team of 10 individuals,
* It is intended that five (5) slots will be supported by NSF funding (excluding air travel in Chile, and R/T air to Santiago) through the normal ACEAP application and review process. No additional fees will be charged. These 5 slots are open to those in the US or US Territory or Chilean educators. Please note we are in conversation with NSF, and have positive indicators, however, while we anticipate NSF support for the 2020 Expedition, this has not yet been secured. We anticipate confirmation in soon.
* Five (5) slots will be made available to anyone in the US or abroad who has interest/experience in astronomy education/outreach. Their experience will have to be fully paid for by their institution or self-funded. Cost = $4400 USD excluding R/T airfare to Santiago. These will be filled on a first come first serve basis once initial qualifications have been met.
* All 10 Ambassadors will be required to participate in pre-travel sessions and complete the required outreach activities when they come home. In return, each receives a $500 stipend.
