Study Abroad Writing Contest

Every semester, the Study Abroad and Global Learning Office sponsors a writing contest, open to all students who have participated in previous study abroad programs (see submission instructions below). The Study Abroad and Global Learning Office will vote on the best submission(s), and publish the winner(s) on their website, using quotes from the winner(s) in their promotional materials and marketing. 

Study abroad participants are encouraged to submit writing pieces including, but not limited to, blog entries, creative writing pieces, poems, essays, and articles. There is no minimum or maximum length, please use your best judgement when submitting your piece. Special consideration will be given to entries that lend themselves more readily to use in promotional or marketing materials.

There will be one (1) winner per semester, who will be awarded a $100 scholarship.

The deadline for the writing contest for Spring 2013 is Monday, March 4th.

• One entry per student.
