Mobility Scholarship for Target Group Students

This project will introduce a new scholarship opportunity to support students in identified target groups to participate in one of Fanshawe’s international mobility opportunities. The selected students will participate in a semester exchange, faculty-led field study, summer schools abroad, or placement/co-op abroad. The scholarship will be used by the student to pay for flights, health insurance, housing abroad, study/travel visa, and cost of living during the program. This scholarship will specifically support students from the target groups (low-income students, students with disabilities, and indigenous students). This project fills a gap in funding currently available through the college for target students.
