Ping Scholarships
The below study abroad scholarships are funded by the Ping Foundation.
John E. Bowman Travel Grants
The Bowman Travel Grants were established in memory of John E. Bowman, Executive Director of CIEE from 1952 to 1979. These awards provide assistance to students participating in CIEE study abroad programs in non-traditional locations. They help to defray the costs of travel.
Robert B. Bailey Scholarship
The Robert B. Bailey Scholarship is intended to promote the participation in CIEE’s International Study Programs of individuals or members of groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. Applicants are asked to specify the group to which they belong and which they believe to be underrepresented in study abroad.
These awards are named in honor of Robert B. Bailey III, former member of CIEE’s Board of Directors and Professor of Sociology and Director of Study Abroad at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
Peter Wollitzer Scholarships for Study in Asia
The Wollitzer Scholarships were established by the Ping Foundation in 2006, with the first award given in spring 2007, in memory of Peter Wollitzer, Regional Director at the University-wide office of the University of California Education Abroad Program. Peter had a long affiliation with CIEE and was a strong proponent of CIEE Study Centers around the world. He was a member of the CIEE Academic Consortium Board. These awards provide assistance to students from CIEE Academic Consortium Board Member institutions, who are participating in CIEE study abroad programs in Asia.
CIEE International Study Programs (CIEE-ISP) Scholarships
In an effort to make study abroad opportunities available to the widest possible audience, CIEE offers scholarships each year to students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need.
Jennifer Ritzmann Scholarship for Studies in Tropical Biology
The Jennifer Ritzmann Scholarship was established, with the consent of her parents, in the memory of Jennifer Ritzmann, a 1998 fall participant in the Tropical Biology Program at Monteverde, Costa Rica, and a junior from Ohio University, whose life was taken in a tragic accident. Jennifer’s dream was to do forestry work in Costa Rica, and she was committed to preserving the rain forest. This scholarship is to be awarded each semester to a qualified participant on the Monteverde program. It is our hope that through this scholarship we will be able to help other students with similar dreams and goals to achieve what Jennifer was only able to begin to realize.
The awarding of this scholarship began with the Fall 1999 semester, and was granted to one student per year. Students accepted to the CIEE Study Center program in Monteverde, Costa Rica will automatically be considered for this award and will be reviewed based upon the information in the student’s program and scholarship application packages. Starting in spring 2007, an award of $1,000 will be given each semester and will be applied toward the participant’s CIEE program fees.
