Growing up all around the world, I believe international travel is important. So, I want to inform you Wahoos about a few scholarships.
The first is the NSEP Scholarship. According to UVA's International Studies Office, "NSEP awards scholarships to American students for study of world regions critical to U.S. interests (including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East)." Here's the link:

The second scholarship is the Center for Global Health Scholar Award. The 1st link below is about the award. The 2nd link is about Wynn LeiLei Nyane who used her scholarship to travel to Thailand to help Burmese refugees.
