ISP Scholarships- Deadline March 1st

Applications are now open for three International Studies & Programs scholarships and grant opportunities.  Because COVID limited travel plans in previous years, we will be able to distribute more funding for the Claffey Meyer grant than ever before.

Claffey Meyer International Travel Grant

This award provides financial assistance to domestic students who intend to travel to developing countries for the purpose of providing technical assistance, participate in research, or engage in service. The intent is for students to work towards discovering and implementing solutions in response to urgent human needs (for example: food security, environmental quality, health and nutrition, education, and other areas) and, thereby, to encourage careers in international development teaching, research and practice. Grants are intended to support travel, related living expenses, and projects costs—not to be used as a tuition scholarship.

• Open to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students
• Multiple scholarships will be given in 2023
• Award amounts will vary, but will be no less than $2,000

Dr. Charles and Marjorie Gliozzo Dissertation Research Scholarship

This scholarship is available to MSU doctoral students with dissertation research objectives who have defended, or are in the process of defending, a dissertation proposal. The scholarship supports field research abroad in support of the student’s dissertation.

Walker Hill Scholarship

The Walker Hill International Award is available to MSU doctoral students to be used for pre-dissertation visits to a doctoral research site in a country outside the United States (for international students, research in one’s own country does not qualify). The student must have completed adequate credits and be able to submit a description, appropriateness and feasibility of pre-dissertation research objectives to be accomplished during the period spent abroad.
