John E. Bowman Travel Grants 2010/11-CIEE Members or CIEE Academic Consortium members-Portland
Travel Grants 2010/11 for the CIEE members or CIEE Academic Consortium members by CIEE Student Scholarship Programs for Education Abroad in Portland
The Bowman Travel Grants were established in memory of John E. Bowman, Executive Director of CIEE from 1952 to 1979. These awards provide assistance to students participating in CIEE study abroad programs in non-traditional locations. They help to defray the costs of travel.For many students, a study abroad experience is only possible with financial assistance. Each year CIEE awards scholarships and grants to students who plan to study overseas. Please read the eligibility criteria and the application procedures for each scholarship carefully.
Competition for the CIEE scholarships and grants is keen and the quality of the materials submitted is very important. The scholarship application procedure is entirely independent from the CIEE program application.
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.
A 500-word, typed scholarship essay that includes:
- The CIEE program, location, and term(s) for which you are applying
- The names of every CIEE scholarship for which you are applying
- Your objectives for your time overseas with CIEE
- Details of your financial need and how the scholarship will assist you in meeting your individual goals
- Describe any extenuating circumstances that may be relevant in the consideration of your scholarship application
