Please note that graduate students are eligible to apply for these funds:
There is more than $100,000 available for students who want to study abroad this summer or fall 2011. Individual awards range from $750 to $1,500. Applications are due March 1, 2011. Would you please share this information with your colleagues and students. You can view or print our poster here<http://www.uky.edu/IntlAffairs/articles/PDFs/EA_UK_ScholarshipPosterMarchDeadline2011.pdf>. In addition to this award, there are a variety of other funding options available to support students who want to study abroad. Scholarships are offered by several of our colleges and there is a wide range of national sources (i.e., Boren, Gilman) and destination specific sources (i.e., DAAD for Germany, Bridging Scholarship for Japan, etc). In most cases, UK students continue to receive their financial aid packages while they are abroad. Plus, there are many inexpensive exchange programs available that allow UK students to study abroad for little more than studying here in Lexington. Please encourage your students to attend our new information session, "You Can't Afford Not to Go." The next scheduled presentation is Tuesday, February 15, 3-4 p.m. in 207 Bradley Hall. Thank you.
