CIS Board of Visitors Study Abroad Scholarship

The Board of Visitors Study Abroad Scholarship was created on the initiative and generosity of advisors to, and constituents of, the College of International Studies at the University of Oklahoma. The scholarship emphasizes the value of study abroad experiences in destinations that are typically underrepresented.

Awards will be given on a competitive basis to qualified undergraduate and graduate students participating in OU study abroad programs. Awards are based on factors such as (1) quality of the student’s educational objectives and preparation for overseas study; (2) the student’s field of study, with preference going to International and Area Studies majors; and (3) the student’s financial need.

Any major can apply, with preference going to International and Area Studies majors
Must be enrolled and participating in a study abroad program sponsored by the University of Oklahoma
Must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
Must have a demonstrated financial need
Applicants may not be an immediate family member of the Donor

Preference will be given to students studying abroad in a non-western country.
