Do you need money to help pay for your study abroad? The Sophomore Class Acorn Society is raising money to support fellow classmates who need financial assistance in order to study abroad. All members of the Class of 2008 are eligible to apply!
In order to apply you must submit an essay by April 28, 2006. The size of the grants awarded will be determined by the number of donations. All essays will be kept confidential.

You must be a full-time student and be admitted to a study abroad course
