THE CAROLL MILLS YOUNG
STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP

The Caroll Mills Young Study Abroad scholarship is intended to support students at member institutions who want to participate in a study abroad program in order to enhance their proficiency in a target language and/or their understanding of other cultures. The scholarship is open to any student who meets eligibility requirements and is presently attending a CLA college or university. A CLA college or university is one at which a member of the College Language Association is presently employed or is a retiree. 

Eligibility Requirements

Each candidate must exemplify high academic achievement and a desire to enhance his or her proficiency in the target language and/or his or her understanding of the country’s culture.

  • an overall GPA of at least 3.0/4.0 in courses of that language
  • an overall GPA of at least 2.5/4.0

If the candidate will be taking courses taught in English during study abroad and will not be studying another language, that candidate must have:
