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, Summer, and/or Fall. An LAH student may apply for this scholarship by writing a one-page statement of his or her study abroad plans.

Now is the time to apply for Liberal Arts Honors Study Abroad Scholarships! Deadlines are:
5:00 pm November 15 for Spring.
5:00 pm March 15 for Fall and Summer.
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.
Both LAH students and Humanities majors are eligible to apply for the LAH Study Abroad scholarship. Please contact the LAH office with any questions.
The Sanger Learning Center is hiring student educators for next spring, and we would love for you to share far and wide with your advisees. Applications for most positions are due November 6.
We are hiring for Tutors (all areas, but especially PHY, ECO, Math, languages, and ACC/FIN), Supplemental Instruction (SI) leaders, and Peer-Led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) Coordinators. All positions start at $14/hour.
We love motivated students, but interested applicants need not have a flawless academic record—great student educators tend to be those who can communicate well, manage their time, empathize with peers, and recognize that all learning is a process. We encourage students from all majors and backgrounds to apply.
Both advisors and interested students may contact carissa.abrego@austin.utexas.edu with any questions. Thanks!
