2011-2012 STUDENT STUDY ABROAD/Study Travel SCHOLARSHIPS

Up to $1,000 for long-term or short-term study abroad.

 

The International Education and Study Abroad/Study Travel Program has been sending M.C. students abroad since the early 1990s. Students have gone to England, France, Germany, Scotland, Italy, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, India, and Turkey, to name a few. For long-term study abroad programs the College belongs to the College Consortium for International Study (CCIS), which is composed of approximately 130 colleges which have centers abroad. Both merit and need-based criteria will be considered by the Study Abroad/Study Travel selection committee to award applicants.
