A&S ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP - University of Wyoming



College of Engineering and Applied Science

International Study Scholarship

Fact Sheet

• It is generally assumed that international study involves additional financial burdens on all students beyond those associated with study at UW. Hence, applications are judged primarily on merit. Additional criteria include the academic and professional goals of the applicant and the suitability of the proposed international program. Submission of an application does not guarantee funding.

• The College will award no more than one scholarship to the same individual in any two-year period.

• Incomplete applications will not be considered for funding. Applicants who do not follow the application directions will be deemed ineligible. Follow all directions given on the scholarship application and include all required documentation.

• Do not submit extraneous material that is not requested.

• Applicants should seek funding from several sources. For instance, the Office of International Programs administers the Cheney Study Abroad Grants and the Cheney Fellowship for Excellence in Study Abroad. Applicants should seek funding from sources outside the University as well. Funding matches from other sources are viewed favorably in award decisions.

• Funding is only available for UW-approved programs.

• The International Study Scholarship is regarded as a supplement to any other scholarships or financial aid that the recipient might receive. It will not be used to underwrite or supplant other funds.

• Acceptance of a scholarship obligates the recipient to:

1) deliver to the College Dean’s office two copies of a thank-you letter addressed to the donor of the funds by the specified date in the award letter (the Dean’s office will mail the letter)

2) deliver to the College Dean’s office two copies of a report on the international study addressed to the donor of the funds within one month of return to UW (the Dean’s office will mail the report)

3) participate in a service project with the International Engineering Program (IEP) upon the recipient’s return to UW, coordinated through the director of the IEP.
