Thanks to the generous donation of �鶹Ӱ�� alumna Margaret G. Lodise ’85, �鶹Ӱ�� has established the Arthur Lionel Williams and Lysle Blythe Williams Global Horizons Fund to provide grants to students facing financial barriers that could prevent their participation in semester-long study abroad programs.

The Grant offers need-based financial scholarships to support the cost of �鶹Ӱ�� tuition, room and board, books, and supplies for the term abroad.  

�鶹Ӱ�� has established the Arthur Lionel Williams and Lysle Blythe Williams Global Horizons Fund to provide grants to students facing financial barriers that could prevent their participation in semester-long study abroad programs.

The funds are limited, and applicants are not guaranteed to receive financial assistance. Each application will be reviewed as it is received. Please reach out in advance of any purchases if you have questions as to what may or may not be covered by this Fund.

In selecting recipients for grants from the Fund, the International and Domestic Programs Office will prioritize students whose financial burdens would otherwise prevent them from participating in semester-long study abroad programs, with first priority to students who qualify for need-based financial aid. Consideration will also be given to students who do not qualify for need-based financial aid, depending on funds availability.

Apply

Students with demonstrated financial need may apply for Pomona's for study away.

Funding: Up to $150

Eligibility
