The application for Global Learning Scholarships is due by this Thursday, Oct. 15. We expect students may be asking advisers more questions about this following the Global Opportunities Expo held this past Thursday.

Please encourage student applications among your advisees who are interested in studying abroad, participating in global service-learning, or experiential learning abroad. Priority will be given to students studying abroad in 2016. These are need-based scholarships.

The following is a summary of eligibility requirements:

1. Applicants must be admitted, currently enrolled, degree-seeking Drake students.
2. Applicants must apply for a scholarship before the term they intend to use it.
3. Only complete applications will be reviewed.
4. Students from all majors, including undergraduate, graduate, and law students, are eligible.
5.  Applicants must have a college GPA of at least 2.5 at the time of application.
6. Priority is given to students who have financial need.
7. Scholarships are for existing Drake-affiliated, exchange, or faculty-led programs.
8. Students who have not previously received a global learning scholarship may be given priority.
9. A disciplinary check will be done and may affect an applicant’s eligibility to receive this scholarship.
10. Applicants are able to apply for scholarships up to a year in advance.

Complete eligibility requirements, expectations and the application are available here.
