The UIC Honors College offers two scholarships for students to help defray costs associated with participation in international study. Students may submit one application to be considered for both awards; however, students may only be awarded one Honors College Study Abroad Scholarship.
FLAHERTY SCHOLARSHIP: Flaherty Scholarships for study abroad are made possible by a gift from the estate of Gloria Flaherty, former professor of German at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Flaherty Scholarships are available in awards ranging from $500 to $1,500 to students applying for summer, semester, or full academic year international study programs. Scholarships awarded in Spring 2014 can be used for Summer or Fall 2014 semester programs. Please note that students may only receive the Flaherty Scholarships for one study abroad experience.
DEAN'S SCHOLARSHIP FOR STUDY ABROAD: The UIC Honors College offers Dean's Scholarships for Study Abroad to promote international educational experiences to a broad range of students. Students from diverse backgrounds and/or with demonstrated financial need are encouraged to apply. Dean's Scholarships for Study Abroad are available in awards ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 to students applying for summer, semester or full academic year international study programs. Scholarships awarded in Spring 2014 can be used for Summer or Fall 2014 semester programs.
