Funding Opportunities
Outstanding applicants with high levels of need may receive more than one kind of funding. Upon return to Lander, Global Scholars serve as ambassadors for the Honors College and Study Abroad. Global Scholars are expected to contribute to campus and community events such as Open House, Study Abroad student forums, etc.
The Honors College and Study Abroad directors can also guide students in applying for external funding opportunities through the Gilman Scholarship Program, study abroad program providers, etc. Please ask for advice if you are interested in these other opportunities.
Break Away Program
A Break Away is a challenge you take on that goes beyond the ordinary requirements of your curriculum. Your Break Away might be a semester or summer studying abroad, intensive research such as an REU, a challenging full-time internship, or a combination of elements. Completing an approved Break Away is a requirement to earn the Honors Medal upon graduation.
