The Joseph T.J. Stewart Global Citizenship Program Study-Abroad Scholarship

In an evolving global economy, there is no question that our best prepared students will bring an international perspective with them when they enter the job market.

With this in mind, the UB School of Management, in conjunction with the Joseph T.J. Stewart Endowment, offers a limited number of scholarships to support study-abroad experiences through a competitive application process.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be a domestic undergraduate student enrolled full-time and matriculated in the School of Management

  • You should have a minimum UB and School of Management GPA of 3.0 or higher

Upon return from your study-abroad experience, you will be encouraged to help the School of Management and UB's Study Abroad Office in promoting future programs and opportunities.
