The first scholarship opportunity is the Rutgers Study Abroad ISL Scholarship, funded by the Presidential Initiative for ISL and available to Rutgers students participating in an summer International Service Learning program.  Students must have a minimum 2.75 G.P.A. in order to apply.  Recipients of the 2013 ISL Scholarship will be required to participate in reentry programming in the following Fall semester, consisting of one group meeting for debrief and reflection, and a postering session in late November as part of International Education Week.  More information on this event, and on how to apply for the scholarship, will be released to students after their acceptance by Rutgers Study Abroad. 

The second scholarship opportunity is the Rodkin International Scholars Fund for Douglass Residential College students.  The scholarship provides financial assistance to current Douglass sophomores and juniors who are in the School of Arts and Sciences and who are participating in a Rutgers International Service Learning program.  Scholarship awards will range from $500-$6000.  For more information please contact Lauren Zielinski at:  lzielins@echo.rutgers.edu
