Study abroad program for students

Students wishing to study abroad on any of the programs sponsored by California State University, Fresno are eligible to receive additional financial support from the newly-established Provost's International Scholarship Fund.

Dr. Jeri Echeverria, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, announced that $100,000 has been specifically earmarked for 2006-07 study abroad scholarships.

"Our university recognizes the importance of internationalizing the campus," said Dr. Echeverria. "This new international scholarship fund is designed to encourage more of our students to take advantage of all the growing opportunities that exist in foreign study."

Applicants must be enrolled at Fresno State and may apply the award to any of the following study abroad programs:

  • University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) - year, semester or summer study

  • CSU International Programs – year-long study

  • London Semester

  • Greece Semester

  • Greece Summer

  • Armenian Semester

  • Short term summer or winter faculty-led programs

  • One-on-one university exchange programs

  • Extension credit travel study programs

  • Other study abroad programs in development

"This new scholarship fund is a fantastic shot in the arm for our study abroad programs," said Bill Erysian, interim director of International Programs at Fresno State. "One of the most pressing concerns these days among students interested in studying overseas has been finances, so this assistance will undoubtedly help us increase the number of students we can send abroad."

Each scholarship award is based on financial need, length of overseas study and relative cost of the study program chosen. All applicants must complete a scholarship application form available at the International Programs Office in the Family and Food Sciences Building, Room 111.
