World Scholars study abroad 2019-2020
Announcing the spring competition for World Scholars funding to support a semester or year of study abroad in 2019-2020
The World Scholars Program provides select undergraduate students with up to $5000 of funding to support a significant study experience of at least two months' duration in a country or region of the world whose principal language is not English. Applicants must be actively committed to achieving fluency in the language of that country or region. They must also be declared majors or minors in any of the non-language disciplines offered by the College of Arts and Sciences and endeavor, to the degree possible, to study the material of that discipline while abroad (whether through full-immersion coursework, service learning, internship placement, directed study, etc.). Students studying any of the modern languages offered at the University of Louisville (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish) are encouraged to apply.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20th.
