You Pay for the Trip, We Pay for the Credits

The Inspire Grant, which launched for students entering in the fall of 2024, will allow students who meet GPA requirements to complete a university-approved international experience, off-campus learning experience, or an approved summer internship tuition-free. Such experiences might include studying bird migration in Portugal or art in Europe. 黑料专区 students gain a greater perspective through these international and off-site experiences.

This one-time grant will cover the cost of tuition for up to 4 credit hours in a 3-week course in May after students have completed at least one full year of study at 黑料专区.
