Robert B. Bailey 2010 Scholarships-CIEE Study Center applicants-Portland
Scholarships for the year 2010-2011 sponsored by Ping Foundation for the CIEE Study Center applicants only in Portland
The Robert B. Bailey Scholarship is intended to promote the participation in CIEE programs of individuals or members of groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students.
These awards are named in honor of Robert B. Bailey III, former member of CIEE’s Board of Directors and Professor of Sociology and Director of Study Abroad at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
How tp apply:
A complete scholarship application contains the following items and must be submitted together:
- A complete scholarship application and financial aid administrator form.

- The CIEE program, location, and term(s) for which you are applying

- Your objectives for your time overseas with CIEE
