Study Abroad Stipends
The College of Arts and Sciences announces the availability of stipends to support students who will be participating in UWRF-sponsored or approved international study abroad programs. Each stipend is worth up to $1000 and is meant to defray the cost of the study abroad program. While students may request up to $1000, the final dollar amount will be determined by the reviewing committee based on the total cost of the program and the student’s financial need. These stipends are made possible because of generous gifts of alumni and friends to the College of Arts and Sciences. The number of stipends disbursed in any given year may vary.
