Students majoring in a discipline in the college may apply for a Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) Study Abroad Scholarship (award amount varies), a Trudy Huskamp and Gary Peterson Study Abroad Scholarship ($1,000), a Gary L. & Margaret W. Krull Scholarship, or a Gittla Murphy Scholarship. One application qualifies a student for all scholarship programs. Only one scholarship may be awarded per applicant.
