NEW ALBANY, IN, (Feb. 14, 2013) – Indiana University Southeast students interested in study abroad programs now have multiple scholarship opportunities available to help expland their global reach.
International study is instrumental in stretching students’ horizons and encouraging a worldwide approach to education. IU Southeast now has several scholarships available to students looking to study overseas.
Additionally, donors who choose to establish an international study scholarship now have the opportunity to have their funding matched by Indiana University to increase the gift.
The newest international programs scholarships include the James W. and Phyllis Robinson International Study Scholarship, the Carlton and Sue Sanders International Study Scholarship, and the recently announced Jerry E. and Sheila R. Wheat International Study Scholarship.
The Wheat scholarship is designated for an IU Southeast business major interested in marketing or management who is eager to study abroad.
