Mershon Center offers study abroad scholarship
COLUMBUS — The Mershon Center for International Security Studies has established the Ralph D. Mershon Study Abroad Scholarship to support undergraduates who wish to enhance their educational experience by studying in a foreign country.
Students are encouraged to take foreign language courses, especially those deemed critical for national security, such as Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Farsi, and others. Priority will be given to students who are preparing for a career related to international security studies.
Applications will be evaluated by an interdisciplinary review committee that will make recommendations to the director of the Mershon Center. As many as 10 scholarships of up to $2,000 each will be awarded. The deadline for receiving applications is June 1, 2008.
About the Mershon Center for International Security Studies
The Mershon Center for International Security Studies at The Ohio State University advances the understanding of national security in a global context by fostering interdisciplinary faculty and student research in three areas of focus: the use of force and diplomacy; the ideas, identities, and decisional processes that affect security; and the institutions that manage violent conflict.
