Guidelines and Application Materials

Applicants must:

be enrolled in an approved study abroad course(s)
have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 for undergraduates, and a GPA of 3.2 for graduate students
submit an application form along with a brief essay

Applications will be reviewed and successful applicants will be notified by the Office of International Programs Study Abroad Advisor. Scholarship is non-renewable. Students receiving Freshman or Transfer Scholarships, or who have received this scholarship in the past, are ineligible to receive this award.

NOTE: Disbursement of awarded scholarship funds are made in accordance with the scheduled financial aid disbursement date for the semester awarded. Scholarship awards received are considered a resource to meet financial need, and therefore impact aid eligibility. If resources are identified or received after your initial aid awards are made, they could cause some awards to be reduced or rescinded. After payment of UT Tyler tuition and fees, any remaining funds will be disbursed on the published financial aid refund date.
