CEA Global Education Offers New Diversity Scholarship

Study abroad service provider CEA Global Education is proud to announce its new Diversity Scholarship, now available to all CEA program student participants. Applications for all CEA study abroad scholarships are currently being accepted for Jump 2012.

The Diversity Scholarship originated from a desire to promote diversity in CEA programs, and boost access to students who are historically underrepresented in study abroad. Applicants may qualify to receive up to $1,000 – up to $3,000 for the highest scoring applicant awarded with distinction.

"Our commitment includes, but is not limited to, ethnic minority students, male students, students from diverse economic backgrounds, GLBT students, and students from underrepresented majors,” said Kathleen Ellwood, Director of University Relations East. CEA's programs facilitate equal opportunities for academic achievement, global competence and private growth for all its students.”

Requirements for the Diversity Scholarship include a GPA of 2.5 or higher, a epistle of recommendation from an academic reference, a scholarship application form, a scholarship academic recommendation form and a 400- to 500-word essay. This year’s inaugural Diversity Scholarship questions students to reflect on the following prompt:

"I don't know travel cannot preclude bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples weep, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can initiate the thought that if we try and know each other, we may even become friends." – Maya Angelou

Scholarship applicants must have applied for a qualifying CEA study abroad program, be confirmed in their program within 30 days of submitting their scholarship materials, and be currently enrolled at a U.S. or Canadian college or university.
