> I am pleased to announce a new financial aid initiative to help
> students study overseas. Starting in Fall 2007, Miami will provide
> students with demonstrated financial need a $600 grant toward airfare
> if they study overseas for at least a semester. For airfares higher
> than $600, students may receive the remainder of their ticket price in
> the form of an interest free university loan. Students studying at
> Luxembourg are eligible for this program.
>
> More information on this new initiative will be provided at the annual
> Study Abroad Fair on Tuesday (Shriver Center, 2-6 p.m.). Starting
> next week, information on the grant will also be available at the
> Office of Student Financial Assistance web site (
> http://www.units.muohio.edu/sfa).
>
> I hope that this new program will make study abroad for a semester a
> real option for all students. The ability to gain cultural competence
> in other areas of the world will be a key skill in the twenty-first
> century. Please encourage all of your students to consider study
> abroad in light of this new initiative. Please also encourage them to
> attend the Study Abroad Fair on Tuesday.
