Roaming Buffs Scholarship

A new Alumni Association travel scholarship will benefit its debut winners this fall, supporting three Buffs studying overseas. Funded by proceeds from the Roaming Buffs alumni travel program, the scholarship provides $1,500 grants for tuition, books and other academic expenses.

Luke Collier (MechEngr’19) will attend the CIEE Madrid Engineering & Society program, also in Spain. And Austin Chrisp (PolSci’20) will study at the University of New South Wales in Australia.
