There are 5 Presidential Scholarships of $2000 each.
Scholarships will be awarded to qualified MOLA majors first, since study abroad is a requirement.
Scholarships will be awarded to students from other majors if funds remain.
Awards are for long-term study abroad programs in non-Anglophone countries.
To be eligible, students must have a minimum of a 2.5 grade point average and academic achievement will be a factor in
the selection process.
Fully complete application and attach typed essay addressing the prompt at the bottom (minimum of 500 words) in
English.
Presidential Scholarships may not be combined with other scholarships offered by International Affairs.
Applications must be submitted to The Office of International Affairs by 5:00 on April 1 (or following Monday if this
falls on a weekend) for study abroad in fall or spring of the following academic year. Late applications will not be
accepted.
Students accepting study-abroad scholarships are expected to support events sponsored by International Affairs upon
their return to Longwood.
Students who accept scholarship awards and who do not complete a study abroad program are required to return the
award in full.

I understand that if I accept this scholarship and then later withdraw from the study program, I am required to return the award in
full immediately upon withdrawal. Should I fail to complete the program, fail to attend classes regularly, fail to handle assigned
duties, or fail to submit assigned work, I will be obligated to refund the entire amount of the scholarship immediately upon returning
home. I am aware that failure to comply will result in a hold being placed on my academic record and honor board charges may
result. I also confirm that the above information is current and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
