GenCen will be awarding one scholarship each to students attending the Women's & Gender Studies Study Abroad Programs in Malawi (Development and NGOs: Internships), London (Gender, Sex, and Feminism in the UK), and Amsterdam (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity & Sexual Politics).
These scholarships, for $1,000-$1,250 each, are made possible by the Abbott–Haskin Endowment in even-numbered years and the Director's Challenge Campaign in odd-numbered years. Students are eligible to apply if they are:
- In a Women's & Gender Studies degree program (WGS major/minor or LGBTQ minor)
- Have at least a 3.0 GPA
-
"Have demonstrated the capacity to make a difference in public service upon graduation."
[Administrative Note: In 2016, per the Abbott-Haskin Endowment, we included a requirement that applicants be rising juniors, juniors, or seniors. However, for the 2017 application season we have removed this eligibility requirement.]
Applications Must Include:
- A cover letter expressing interest in the scholarship, how the study abroad program furthers their scholarly interests, and how they plan to use their women's and gender studies degree after graduation
- A resume or CV
- Proof of acceptance to one of the listed WGS Study Abroad programs
- Preference will be given to students demonstrating financial need; materials in support of demonstrating such need are encouraged as applicable.
