Education Abroad Deadline for Summer this Friday + Scholarship Info!

Dear friends of Education Abroad,

Please remind your colleagues and students that this Friday is the deadline to complete their applications for summer 2013 faculty-led summer programs and for the summer 2013 Education Abroad Scholarship!

Are your students looking for  scholarships to help them study abroad this summer?  Please refer them to http://ter.ps/moneyabroad for information on identifying scholarships for Study Abroad.

Education Abroad awards a limited number of partial scholarships (up to $1,000) to students with demonstrated financial need who plan to study abroad in the summer on Maryland faculty-led programs.  There are also limited funds available for students who plan to study abroad through other programs or institutions as well.

The deadline for students to complete their applications for the UMD Education Abroad Scholarship<http://www.international.umd.edu/studyabroad/4490> for Summer 2013 is THIS FRIDAY, March 1, 2013, regardless of the program application deadline.  For students planning to study abroad in the 2013-2014 Fall semester or academic year, the deadline to apply for scholarships is March 15, 2013. No late applications will be considered.

Students who are Pell Grant recipients who plan to study abroad in the same country for at least 4 weeks this summer, or for the Fall/ Academic Year 2013-2014, are strongly encouraged to apply to the Gilman Scholarship, a prestigious and generous national award.  National deadline is March 5, so students should be in touch with the National Scholarships Office (Gilman@umd.edu<mailto:Gilman@umd.edu>) as soon as possible if they have not already done so.

Thank you for distributing these updates!

Best,

Catherine
