Scholarship Deadline Reminder
JMC Education Abroad & Field Experience Scholarships
Applications for the JMC Education Abroad and Field Experience Scholarships are due today (Nov. 15). Students who are participating in an education abroad program for Spring 2025 (including Winter Break programs) or are planning to do their field experience (internship for credit via MC 400/401) in Spring 2025 are eligible to apply.
The application deadline is Nov. 15 for both applications. You do not need to be accepted into an education abroad program or internship at the time of your application, but you need to list the programs/internships you've applied to. Scholarships will be awarded later in the fall semester and are contingent upon participation in an education abroad program (enrollment in program credits) or internship (enrollment in MC 400). Recipients are also expected to complete a Letter of Acknowledgement to the scholarship donor.
