Overview

Ten $1500 Dean's Scholarships for Study Abroad are awarded annually to UI Students preparing to study abroad for a semester or academic year.

"While no one can predict the future, we can be sure it will see further growth in the movement of people, symbols and products across nation-state borders--spurred by continuing innovations in technology.  The 21st century will reward those with the flexibility to adapt to new situations and with strong intercultural communication skills (one of which is a thoughtful understanding of one’s own culture).  No other experience that UI students can have prepares them for the future as powerfully as study abroad."  --William Reisinger, former Dean of International Programs
