Deadlines

The policies below are effective 8/15/16 for Winter 2016, Spring 2017, and all future SABR requests.
 
 
Academic Standing
Study Abroad funding is available only to students with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 and a semester grade point average of 2.5 or higher, and whose status with the Foundation is “good standing.” These  conditions must be met both at the time of request and at the time of fund disbursement to receive SABR funding. A Scholar who is on probation is not considered to be in good standing for purposes of Study Abroad eligibility.
 
 
Positive Degree Impact and Timely Graduation
Scholars who meet the Academic Standing requirement must utilize their Terry Study Abroad stipend prior to their last  semester of undergraduate Terry funding.
 
**NOTE: Traditional Scholars whose first semester was Fall 2013 and Transfer Scholars whose first semester was Fall 2014 are excepted from the Positive Degree Impact and Timely Graduation requirement for SABR requests submitted between 8/15/16 and 5/1/17. Requests submitted by these Scholars after 5/2/17 are subject to the new requirements.
  
Study Abroad Contract
All Scholars who receive initial approval for Study Abroad funding will acknowledge and agree to the following:

  1. I understand that my Study Abroad funding is conditional, and will be revoked in the event that I do not meet the gpa and good standing requirements for the semester prior to my Study Abroad trip; and that my funds can be revoked even if my Study Abroad trip has already begun.

  1. I understand that I am personally responsible for any Study Abroad program-related costs due prior to the disbursement of my Study Abroad stipend by my university.
