New Scholarship for Biomedical Engineering Undergraduates
The Whitaker International Program recently established a new undergraduate grant for biomedical engineering and bioengineering students studying abroad. Up to $7,500 will be awarded to students participating in semester-long programs and $10,000 for year-long studies. This new undergraduate program was created with the goal of increasing the number of biomedical engineers studying abroad. Students who apply must demonstrate a financial need for support to participate in study abroad. Priority will be given to those who study in non-traditional locations.
