Dear CLA Colleague:

 

In the spirit and memory of our esteemed colleague and my titular predecessor, Dr. Caroll Mills-Young, it is with respectful sincerity that I announce on behalf of the CLA Study Abroad Scholarship Committee, the annual College Language Association Study Abroad Scholarship competition.  Enclosed are a poster and a copy of the guidelines for applicants.  Please take a few minutes to write your name and office location in the space provided on the poster.

 

We encourage all students to apply and hope that your student will be the recipient of this distinguished award.  All accompanying application materials and forms can be downloaded from our website at www.clascholars.com under the Study Abroad Scholarship link.  Please duplicate the information and distribute it to those who are interesting in studying abroad for the upcoming academic year.

 

Kindly remember that a sponsor must:

·         be a current financial member of the College Language Association in order for a student to be eligible for the scholarship competition

·         verify that the summer abroad experience will take place in one of the following terms: Summer 2006, Fall 2006 or spring 2007

·         verify that the application is complete and is ready for committee review

·         sign the application and the checklist

·         verify that the student has submitted his/her written summary of the study abroad experience

 

The committee will do its best to consider all candidates; however, incomplete applications will be withdrawn from the competition.

 

As always, we are extremely grateful for your willingness to support this endeavor.  If you have any questions, I may be reached at 404-364-8382 or you may send an email message mchandler@oglethorpe.edu

 

Best wishes for a successful academic year.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mario A. Chandler, Ph.D.
