Fred and Mary Lou Birdsong Study Abroad Scholarships

The Birdsong Study Abroad Scholarship was created in 1990 by Fred and Mary Lou Birdsong to provide engineering students with the opportunity for enrichment through the study of the humanities and other cultures. Over the years, this program has sent students to Europe, South America, the Asian rim, Australia, and numerous locations in between.

Students design their own program of study, submit a proposal with a budget to the dean’s office, and undergo an interview to qualify for consideration. If any of the students in the audience want to take advantage of this program, we suggest that you visit the Office of Student Services to learn more about it.
