BOARD OF TRUSTEES' STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP

Scholarship awards are worth $1,000 and will be applied to the recipient’s program fee through direct deposit into the corresponding study abroad account. Students applying to non-ACC study abroad programs will have the scholarship award deposited to their corresponding ACC OneCard account. Scholarship applications are available at the International Programs Office and here.
