Study Abroad Scholarships

Today’s college student must prepare to work and live in an increasingly global environment, and few experiences enhance that preparation more profoundly than a study abroad experience. Not only do study abroad students learn about the world, they learn about themselves, gaining priceless knowledge, confidence, and insight.

With increasing costs of airfare and the performance of the dollar internationally, these opportunities are increasingly becoming out of reach for OU students.

Donors can make a significant difference in the lives of students who seek study abroad experience by funding annual scholarships of $2,500, which would help pay for airfare and other special expenses in studying out of the country. Donors wishing to endow a Study Abroad Scholarship can make a gift of $50,000 over five years, which will generate about $2,500 in interest each year.
