• Some awards are language specific and cannot be transferred to other language or travel programs.
• Successful applicants will demonstrate clarity of purpose in their language studies. Majors with upper division standing will be given priority, but all language students are eligible to apply.
• No funds may be applied retroactively.
• All decisions are final.
• Individuals may receive more than one award while at WSU, but they must be enrolled in foreign language courses at the time of application.
• Travel funds must be used in conjunction with Weber State sponsored study abroad programs.
• In years when no study abroad program is available in a given language, students may use funds for programs resulting in credits being transferable to WSU.
• Funds cannot be awarded for travel carrying no academic credit.
