The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has provided $687,929 in scholarships, fellowships and program support to 155 undergraduates for study abroad during 2014 and 2015. Funded by private gifts to the College of Arts and Sciences, the awards enable students to study in other countries for a semester, summer or year.
More than one-third of UNC undergraduates study in other countries before they graduate – one of the highest study abroad rates among public universities nationwide. The Study Abroad Office in the College offers more than 325 programs in more than 70 countries.
“Many Carolina students would not have the opportunity to study abroad without the generous support of our alumni and friends,” said Bob Miles, associate dean for study abroad. “International experience sets students apart when they begin searching for work after graduation and benefits them in other academic, cultural, social and personal ways.”
Below are descriptions of study abroad scholarships available through the College and this year’s recipients, listed alphabetically by North Carolina county and other states and countries. Also listed are their study abroad plans and names of the scholarships they received. Students without majors listed have not yet declared majors.
