Today: Have you wanted to go on an Immersion but felt you couldn’t afford it?

Immersion Scholarship for this Spring Break or May: Immerse Yourself for Free!

The Immersion program can provide four-six scholarships to students who, due to financial concerns, have not applied for an Immersion experience or have been unable to go. This scholarship will cover the total cost of an immersion, provided the student can demonstrate high financial need.

Spots are available for the following locations.

  • Montgomery (Spring Break)
  • Louisville (Spring Break)
  • Cleveland (For Honors Students Only, Spring Break)
  • U.S./Mexico Border (May)

The recipients of the Immersion Scholarship will remain anonymous. The money goes directly toward covering the cost of the Immersion.

The Spring Break/ May immersions start meeting Thursday, January 17, at 9 p.m.
