The Liberal Arts Honors Program will award scholarships in varying amounts to support LAH students and Humanities majors who will be studying abroad in the Spring.  The deadline is November, 1 at 5 pm.

Please submit your application online through the study abroad online scholarship application, Global Assist and select “Get Started”. The website will prompt you to set up an online profile and show you a list of scholarships which criteria you meet. If you are applying for a study abroad program not affiliated with UT, please enter program code 300999.

To apply, write a one-page statement of your study abroad plans. The statement should include where and what you will be studying, the projected cost involved, and the role that study abroad and the mastery of a foreign language plays in the student’s academic and career goals.

Summer and Fall Funding is also available, but the application will not open until January 15th .

Be an Orientation Advisor!

Leave a reply

New Student Services is seeking a diverse group of talented students to develop, plan, and execute the 2014 Summer Orientation program! This is a dynamic opportunity where students receive extensive leadership and social justice training, have the opportunity to work with new students in groups and individually, write and perform in shows, plan large-scale events, and so much more. These students serve a critical role in helping our new students, both freshmen and transfers, transition academically and socially to the University of Texas campus.

•  Students from any college and classification are eligible to become an Orientation Advisor.

Students MUST attend one of our Info Sessions to be able to receive an application (Tuesday 10/8, 8:30pm NOA 1.126 — Wednesday 10/9, 5:30pm WEL 2.312 — Sunday, 10/13, 8:30pm NOA 1.126). Required attendance is intentional, because we hope to communicate with students about the level of commitment the experience entails. Students are enrolled in an upper-division course designed specifically for Orientation Advisors and serve on committees in the spring, then work throughout the summer.
