Wisely Honors Study Abroad Awards
Stephen F. Austin State University Announces
The Wisely Honors semester Study Abroad Awards For the coming Academic Year
The School of Honors at SFASU is pleased to announce the competition for two awards for any currently enrolled student who registers for a travel and study abroad program offered through any department within the university. These two annual awards are made through the generosity of the Dorothy Wisely School of Honors Endowment. They pay $2,000, on a one-time basis, for any student who registers for an out-of-the-country travel program that earns the equivalent of twelve or more hours of SFASU college credit.
In the spring of each year, the school of Honors will announce the award winners, who may use the funds for travel in either long term. The award must be used within a twelve month period of the granting. The normal date of application will be February 1st of each year, with a decision made by the end of April by the Director and the University Honors Council. The student should have a minimum GPA of 3.25, but there will be no other purely academic criteria for the competition.
For application forms, please visit the Honors School in Ferguson G76. Also, this scholarship requires:
-
Confirmation from the relevant department to certify that the student will be eligible for study abroad and has made plans to participate in for-credit classes at a recognized school outside of the United States.
-
A typed letter of 500 words or more, justifying the goals and agenda for any study abroad program for which he or she is applying.
