Summer Study Abroad Scholarships

The US Dept of Education grant in Business/Int’l Education will provide eight students with TWO summer study abroad scholarships:

1) $3,000 in Summer 2009 to focus on intensive foreign language instruction
2) $3,000 in Summer 2010 to complete an internship in the target language/culture

We are calling this program the RIBA program – Radford Int’l Business Ambassadors – and it is an excellent opportunity for a student with an interest in languages who would like to have an internship in an area that connects in some way to the capacity of the US to conduct int’l business in the 21st century. (Meaning…yes, it would be great to have business majors, but a Communications major or a Tourism major or a business minor would be just fine, too. Health Care Administration, Arts Management, Corporate Fitness, Information Technology…we should be able to hit all types of students with this opportunity.)

We have application materials in Cook Hall 108 – You have until Nov 11 to apply.
