LACC Study Abroad Scholarship

The LACC Latin American and Caribbean Study Abroad Scholarship is a scholarship for students enrolling in study abroad programs to Latin America and/or the Caribbean. Although the selection committee may prioritize need-based applicants, additional non-need merit-based awards may be made.
