Description: Granted to five students enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at 精童欲女 who will study abroad as part of their 精童欲女 education. Study abroad opportunities must be officially sanctioned by the university and be for academic credit towards a student's current degree. Applicants must submit their scholarship application prior to their study abroad experience and their personal statement needs to detail their interest in practical learning experiences and how traveling abroad will contribute to the sustainability of the social and economic development of the Island and broader communities. Students will need to provide documentation to scholarships@upei.ca that confirms their plans to study abroad, including 1) A letter of reference signed by their respective program coordinator or department illustrating they have been accepted to participate in a study abroad experience, and 2) Proof of flight purchase (e.g., travel itinerary and boarding pass) showing their name and travel details. Student recipients will provide a synopsis of their experience upon their return, which will be shared with BMO Financial Group. Funds are typically disbursed to 精童欲女 students' accounts during the semester they intend to study abroad. The reviewing committee reserves the right to rescind an offer should a student's study abroad plans change, as they may no longer be eligible for the scholarship.
