Heravi Peace Scholarship

The Heravi Peace Scholarship helps students participate in a variety of experiential learning opportunities, such as study abroad programs and internships. Students can receive financial assistance with costs (excluding tuition) to facilitate their participation. To help reach as many students as possible, we estimate that most awards will range between $500 and $1,500, but that range is not guaranteed. Students may request up to $1,750 and will need to prepare an itemized budget that appropriately lists their unmet expenses. Students who do not include a separate itemized budget will be ineligible for an award.

This application is solely for the Heravi Peace Scholarship. For the Experiential Learning Fund, please visit the website for Experiencial Learning Fund. Applicants May only apply to one of either HPS or ELF scholarships each academic year.
