| The University of Arkansas is a proud member of the South
Eastern Conference. SECU was established in 2005 and one of its original focal points was education abroad. In response, students from SEC universities now have access to programs offered at other SEC universities. The SEC also has a partnership with Politecnico di Torino which gives SEC engineering students the opportunity to study in Torino, Italy, each spring. |
For the second year row, Dr. Pepper will award two $2,000 study abroad
scholarships to students at the University of Arkansas, as well as other member schools in the SECU, to assist in defraying
study abroad costs.
"Dr Pepper has a long-standing commitment to higher
education, and we are committed to increasing the amount and type of education
abroad opportunities available for our students," said SEC Commissioner
Mike Slive. "With this generous contribution from Dr Pepper, we are better
equipped to meet one of the charter goals for SECU as outlined by our Presidents
and Chancellors."
By funding these awards, Dr Pepper will provide study abroad
opportunities during the summer of 2016 for high achieving University of Arkansas students with demonstrated financial need
who represent non-traditional study abroad participants. Preference will be given to students enrolling in a University
of Arkansas faculty led program.
The application deadline for summer 2016 is February 15,
2016. Qualified students who complete the Office of Study Abroad Scholarship Application will
automatically be considered for this scholarship! No additional application is
required.
