The grants are designed to support undergraduates, both members and nonmembers from campuses that have Phi Kappa Phi chapters, as they seek expanded knowledge and experience in their academic fields by studying abroad.
Berea College’s recipients are:
- Yennifer Coca Izquierdo, of Louisville, a junior majoring in political science will study abroad in Egypt.
- Keetara Douglas of Madisonville, a senior majoring in psychology will study abroad in Ghana.
The selection process for a study-abroad grant is based on the applicant’s academic achievement, campus and community service, relation of travel to academic preparation and career goals, a personal statement, letters of recommendation and acceptance into a study-abroad program. Each recipient receives $1,000 to be applied toward travel.
Established in 2001, the Study Abroad Grant Program is part of the Society’s robust portfolio of award and grant programs, which gives more than $1 million each year to outstanding students and members through graduate and dissertation fellowships; funding for post-baccalaureate development; and grants for local, national and international literacy initiatives.
