The January Term Travel Scholarship is an award of 75% of the course fee of a travel course of the applicant's choice.
- During a normal year, students can apply for this scholarship online beginning of the fall semester.
- A scholarship winner is not guranteed a spot in a course and must register through the same process and timeline as all other students.
In awarding scholarships, the January Term Committee considers:
- Preference is given to seniors before juniors, etc. (status is based upon the number of completed units at the time of applying)
- Eligibility for financial aid (FAFSA submitted)
- Greatest need
- Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA
- No previous experience studying abroad with January Term or Study Abroad
- Students who have previously received the January Term Scholarship will not be considered for the January Term Scholarship.
- Scholarship award winners will also need to place a standardized deposit of $500.
Important Information for Award Recipients:
-
If you enrolled into a higher cost travel course - your scholarship will not be increased beyond the original awarded amount.
-
If you enrolled in a lower cost travel course - only 75% of that course fee will be covered by the January Term Scholarship and the remaining award amount is forfeited.
-
If you do not get into the course for which you applied, or into another international travel course, please contact the January Term Office at janterm@stmarys-ca.edu.
