A Note About Scholarships

One of our primary aims is to "Expand your World" as a BYU student, and there is no better way to do this than through these select, globally focused scholarships. These awards cut across many boundaries, funding everything from international internships to undergraduate research projects.

Many awards already have BYU representatives who will help you prepare your applications to be competitive. Also, the Office of Prestigious Scholarships, Kennedy Center Advisement, and International Relations/Area Studies coordinators will also assist in answering questions for these awards and as you plan your academic and professional future.

For example, the NSEP Scholarship provides funding for students who are developing skills as an area specialist and know they want to work for the U.S. government. Middle East Studies/Arabic majors at BYU lead the way in applications for two straight years, meaning that although we are competitive in that area, we can be even more so—and other languages and regions offer great opportunities for undergraduates.

In 2005, approximately sixteen students from five different majors applied for the NSEP award, and one received the award while two were short listed. We are hoping that more than three times that number of qualified applicants will apply in January 2006.

Take time to review the information on these pages and contact the BYU representative where appropriate.

Best wishes,
