Policy

The Center for Engaged Learning is proud to offer the Study Abroad Emergency Fund. This fund is available to students on an as-needed basis to support their study abroad expenses. When students travel abroad, they often encounter unexpected costs such as travel fees, transportation rentals, increased cost of living, and other expenses. Additionally, many students wish to study abroad but are unable to do so due to the associated costs. This fund aims to provide an equitable opportunity for all Lindenwood University students to participate in study abroad programs.

2. If the need is warranted, the manager will provide the student with an application.
3. The Manager of Global Student Mobility presents the application
