BHC provides scholarship money each semester for study abroad. Please contact Morgan Bauer, Office of Prestigious Awards, for more information. In addition, the Office of Study Abroad also provides scholarship money.

Study abroad waivers must be approved before travel by honors advising, and a reflective essay is required after the program.
