CLAHS Study Abroad Scholarship Application

This scholarship is made available by the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences (CLAHS) for undergraduate students who wish to study abroad. Applicants must be a current student in good academic standing with a primary or secondary major in the CLAHS. For some departmental scholarship opportunities included in this application, students with a CLAHS minor may be considered. The education abroad program must be a credit-bearing academic program that either awards Virginia Tech credit or allows transfer credit to Virginia Tech. Preference will be given to students who are participating in education abroad programs associated with a department in the CLAHS. For other international experiences, such as an internship or research opportunity, specific departmental scholarships are available. Scholarship funds will be applied toward a recipient's VT student account on the first day of the semester in which the recipient travels abroad if studying through a VT faculty-led program that awards direct VT credit. If studying through a program that does not give direct VT credit, funds will be delayed until the student arrives at the university abroad and enrolls in classes. All applicants will be evaluated on the essays they write regarding how this experience abroad will complement their educational and professional goals and on how important the receipt of the scholarship is to their ability to participate.
