ANN ARBOR—Seventy University of Michigan students have been awarded scholarships to be applied towards studying abroad. The Office of International Programs, which administers U-M study abroad programs, has awarded more than $140,000 in scholarships to students participating in their programs. Some of these awards have been granted by or in conjunction with other U-M units, such as Romance Languages, the Center for Japanese Studies, and the College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

The funds came from a number of different sources. U-M alumni, past participants of U-M study abroad programs, private donors and foundations have all contributed in the interest of promoting international academic and cultural exchange.
