Rutgers University Phi Sigma Iota Merit Scholarship
This scholarship is to be awarded to undergraduate members of Phi Sigma Iota based on merit (overall cumulative average, average in foreign languages taken at Rutgers, and level of study achieved). Priority will be given to current Phi Sigma Iota members (i.e., juniors and seniors), but second semester sophomores who may expect to qualify for membership in a subsequent semester will be considered, as will graduate students for summer study programs. Priority may be given to students who are applying for study abroad options offered through Rutgers, but students whose target language is not included in the Rutgers study abroad programs will also be considered. In the selection process, preference will be given to students who have not previously had the opportunity to study abroad and have not been granted some other special Rutgers award for this purpose. Preference will also be given to those without extensive travel or living experience in the target country.
