Study Abroad Scholarship Applications
Simplified
The Office of Education Abroad has simplified the scholarship application process for CWRU students. It now provides one place online where they can apply for any study abroad funding administered through the Center for International Affairs instead of visiting multiple websites with individual applications.
Several study abroad scholarships are currently available for students applying for programs in fall, summer and academic year 2020-2021.
The deadline to apply for those terms is March 15. After that date, the scholarships will still be available for subsequent terms. Faculty and staff are encouraged to share study abroad scholarship information with any students who might be interested. The scholarships can be accessed here.

Get to Know the Center Staff
In her role as the Center’s Information Specialist, she maintains and coordinates daily data input into the international student and study abroad databases, analyzes and generates analytical reports and completes other tasks to ensure students have the documentation they need. She knows from personal experience how essential this work is.
“As someone who came as an international student from Ukraine to study in the U.S., I know first-hand how important it is to support students studying abroad as well as international students studying in the U.S.” said Lopatkina, “As a former STEM major, I know how important it is to balance research, studying, family, friends, and other responsibilities like visa and immigration issues.” Which will be very beneficial to her as she begins advising international students in the near future.
Faculty and staff can reach out to her for analytical data or information about CWRU’s international or study abroad students. Lopatkina can be reached at txl705@case.edu.
