College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Scholarships for Study Abroad

The Arizona State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has several scholarships available for students who study and/or travel abroad during their academic career at ASU. The intent of these scholarships is to provide students with a better understanding of international relations through experiencing different cultures and other ways of living.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Alumni Leadership Council created the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Alumni International Scholarship in honor of former Dean Gary S. Krahenbuhl. For 2009-10, two scholarships of approximately $1,500 are available.

The Anne T. Wethington Travel Abroad Scholarship was created by Anne T. Wethington to provide an opportunity for a student interested in design but whose access to international travel has been limited to expand their cultural experiences by traveling abroad. For 2009-10, one scholarship of approximately $1,000 is available.

The application for 2009-10 scholarships has now passed.

The application for 2010-11 scholarships will be available in January 2010. Click here for the 2009-10 example application (PDF).
