Tidewater Community College announces the availability of study abroad scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year. These scholarships are intended to defray the cost of participating in a TCC Faculty-Led study abroad program. Funds are limited, so apply early!

In addition to scholarships for TCC study abroad programs, students are urged to investigate scholarship programs for semester- and year-long study abroad programs. The Freeman-Asia Foundation, the Gilman Scholarship Program and the David L. Boren Scholarship Programs (listed below) are excellent places to start your search for study abroad funds. Contact the International Programs Office if you would like to discuss arranging a study abroad program.

The following pages further explain how study abroad participants can reach their financial needs in order to afford study abroad more easily.
