Summer Study Abroad

Scholarships

In 2005, a variety of scholarships may be awarded by KIIS to students presently attending schools that are full members of the KIIS consortium.

One or more scholarships may be awarded from an endowed fund established to honor the years of dedication and service given to KIIS by Milton and Inger Grimes. The amount of the scholarship(s) will vary.

Twenty scholarships (one per each summer program) in the amount of $500 are available for award from KIIS.

To be eligible for consideration for a scholarship, a student must meet the following criteria:

Be currently enrolled at an institution that is a full member of the KIIS consortium (graduates of consortium-member schools will also be considered for the Bregenz Environmental and Costa Rica programs).
Have accrued at least 30 semester hours of college credit by the end of the spring semester preceding the program.
Have an overall grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and a 3.5 in his or her major or intended major.
Demonstrate financial need by having a financial aid officer complete the attached financial aid statement or, if not receiving financial aid, by preparing a personal statement regarding need for financial assistance.
Have at least one year of university-level foreign language training or its equivalent. (Students may apply who do not have this training, but preference will be given to students who meet this criterion.)

Submit a complete scholarship application to the student’s KIIS campus representative no later than March 1, 2005. An application consists of the following parts:

A typed application form (a downloadable version is available at www.kiis.org).
A 200-word essay on why the student would like to study abroad.
