Undergraduate Student Scholarships and Fellowships

 

 

The EUCE/ESC is committed to enhancing undergraduate education through the interdisciplinary study of Europe and the European Union. In addition to coursework, students are encouraged to pursue opportunities outside the classroom. Information about scholarships, fellowships, and internships during and after their undergraduate career is found below. For additional information, please arrange to meet with the Undergraduate Certificate Advisor and Assistant Director, Stephen Lund.

      Mark Nordenberg Internship Abroad Scholarships

The Mark Nordenberg Internship Abroad Scholarships are offered through the European Studies Center/European Union Center of Excellence, and are available to students planning an internship in Europe. Three awards of $1,650.00 are given each academic year.

While preference will be given to students who belong to the European Union or West European Studies Certificate Programs, any University of Pittsburgh Oakland Campus undergraduate student is welcome to apply.

All types of internship are eligible.  Whether it’s part of a study abroad program or not, for credit or not, the only thing to keep in mind is that it must be relevant to your major or pre-professional program, and be at least 6 weeks in length.

The application details what is required to apply and when the application is due.

      The Friedl E. Kessler Memorial Fellowship

To help defray the costs of studying abroad, the European Studies Center/European Union Center of Excellence offers the Kessler Fellowship for study or research in Germany. The award is offered to a West European Studies or European Union Studies Certificate Program student in the amount of $1,000 on a competitive basis. To be eligible to apply, the student must be studying German and have at least a 3.0 QPA.

Included with the application must be two letters of recommendation (including one from the German Department addressing your langauge skills), a transcript, and a one-page statement of purpose.

      Harris Miller Integrated Field Trip Abroad Scholarship

An Integrated Field Trip Abroad (IFTA) is a 10 to 14 day long study abroad experience that occurs at the end of the spring term. An IFTA is linked to a specific spring term course, and provides the teacher and students the opportunity to go and study in person what they have been studying throughout the term. IFTAs are typically worth 3 credits and count towards graduation requirements.

Here are the two IFTAs we are sponsoring in spring/summer 2011:

CSD 1101 Introduction to Clinical processes in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology – followed by an IFTA to Dublin and Belfast, Ireland to examine assessment and health care delivery systems

HA&A 0030 Modern Architecture – followed by an IFTA to Vienna, Austria and Zagreb, Croatia to study the impact of new ideas on buildings and infrastructure

Student participating in either of the IFTAs listed above may apply for a Harris Miller Integrated Field Trip Abroad Scholarship. Every year five scholarships of $1,000.00 each are awarded to help offset the expenses of studying abroad. The money is applied as a credit towards the tuition bill for the IFTA. The application provides information about this year's deadline to apply.
