Eligibility
Any full-time undergraduate, graduate, or TIEP student who enrolls in a travel-study or study-abroad program approved by the Travel-Study Scholarship Committee can apply. Normally, these will be programs sponsored by UTM, but students may request support for the travel-study/study-abroad programs they have developed on their own. Awards will be made primarily to students undertaking substantial travel-study projects, which will generally fall into the following categories: travel-study programs (at least one week in duration), language immersion programs (at least three weeks in duration), study-abroad programs lasting one semester or an entire academic year. The Travel-Study Scholarship Committee will consider the following criteria when making awards:
- The cost of the applicant's travel-study program
- The duration of the program
- The academic content of the program
- The program itinerary (preferably out-of-state and international travel)
- The applicant's GPA and year of study at UTM
- The financial need of the applicant
- The availability of other funds to support the chosen program
- Applicants must be in good academic and disciplinary standing.
