Study Abroad Scholarship Opportunity

I'm contacting you on behalf of LIVFund [<http://www.livfund.org/>], a brand new non-profit organization, to inform you of a scholarship opportunity available to those traveling to Latin America to study, intern or volunteer, which may be of interest to you and your students.

LIVFund will award 24 scholarships annually, in the amount of $500 USD, to selected recipients who are over the age of 18 and have plans to study, intern or volunteer abroad in Latin America for at least one [1] week.

The LIVFund Scholarship is unique in that it does not restrict its recipients to participation in specific programs; students, interns and volunteers are allowed to use the funds awarded to them to offset the cost of going abroad with the program of their choice. LIVFund also supports those who organize their own study, intern or volunteer experience and travel abroad independently.

At LIVFund, we understand the crucial role that university faculty and staff play in helping students plan their academic activities - including study abroad and other international experiences. As such, we would like to invite you to join our community so that together we can help these young people become citizens of the world.

To join our community and receive monthly email updates regarding the LIVFund Scholarship, please enter your contact information here:

In an effort to spread the word about the LIVFund Scholarship and reach as many potential applicants as possible, it is important to us that we are in contact with the right person in your department. If you feel that another faculty or staff member would be a better contact for LIVFund, we would greatly appreciate any efforts on your part to connect us with this person.

If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at alie@livfund.org <mailto:alie@livfund.org>.

Thank you very much for your time. We look forward to working with you!

Kind regards,

Alie Church
LIVFund Project Manager
