Study Abroad Scholarship

The Study Abroad Scholarship is awarded to a full-time student who will be going abroad as part of a SUNY study abroad course. It is designed to encourage students to undertake the unique learning experience of studying in a foreign country. The scholarship was established by SUNY Erie employee Nathan Wallace, who participated in a semester-long study abroad program in China. Nathan encourages all SUNY Erie students to take part in activities that increase their understanding of global diversity.
