Financial Support for Interim Travel

Interim Travel Awards

Birmingham-Southern College recognizes the benefit of study-travel experiences, whether through independent study or with a group from BSC, and we want students to realize their Interim plans regardless of financial need. Therefore, the Student Government Association and the Office of Interim and Contract Learning have set aside a limited amount of funds for Interim travel awards. The funds are available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who will be engaged in domestic or international study. Preference will be given to applicants with financial need and to those whose Interim plans exhibit a strong academic component.

Interested students should complete an Interim travel award application and return it to the Office of Interim and Contract Learning no later than Monday, September 15, 2008. Please be as detailed as possible and attach an additional sheet if necessary.
