Full Summary:
Students do not have to have already selected a study abroad program to apply.
Tech Students at Great WallTech students interested in studying abroad can now apply for one scholarship opportunity before even selecting a study abroad program.
The George International Study Abroad Scholarship will award up to $5,000 to 40-50 students each year for the next five years. The scholarships are funded by alumnus William W. “Bill” George, who was not able to study abroad during his time at Tech and wants to afford students the opportunity he never had.
“It’s important that all Georgia Tech graduates become global citizens and understand how business, commerce, engineering, and science work around the globe,” George said. Expanding Tech’s global footprint and graduating good global citizens is also part of Tech’s strategic plan.
The deadline to apply is Oct. 15. Those interested can apply online.
In addition to the George scholarships, the Office of International Education administers several other funding opportunities for students looking to go abroad. Award amounts and submission requirements vary by scholarship. View a list of scholarship online at www.oie.gatech.edu/scholarships.
