The International Programs Office is pleased to announce a new Study Abroad Scholarship for North Seattle Community College students. The scholarship has been established by International Programs to honor Connie Jocasta's contribution and passion for international education here at NSCC. Connie passed away suddenly on January 7th, 2009. She was the Marketing Director for International Programs from March of 2006 to December of 2008.

The Connie Jocasta Study Abroad Scholarship offers a quarterly (excluding summer) maximum scholarship of $1000 for U.S. citizens and resident students at North Seattle Community College. It is meant to support students with limited financial means to pursue academic study abroad through Washington Community College Consortium for Study Abroad (WCCCSA). For more information, please visit our website at: http://www.wcccsa.com/index.htm.

WCCCSA programs are designed to support the first time traveler, emphasize academic and cultural learning, and strive to prepare students for their role in a global society. The Connie Jocasta Study Abroad Scholarship is a great resource for the students at North to apply towards any of the WCCCSA programs.

While studying abroad, not only you learn about other cultures and other ways of experiencing the world, you gain insight into your own culture and how it is perceived by others. You have the opportunity to learn, grow and explore - to stretch the limits of your horizons.

Your experience abroad will change your outlook on life and it will most likely affect the choices you make for your future. Your international experience will give you an advantage in our increasingly global society: cross-cultural awareness, adaptability and problem solving skills are qualities that earn you respect in the job market and give you the confidence to succeed.

Please consider the value of studying abroad - you'll earn college credits while immersing in a new lifestyle and culture, and become an informed citizen of the world!

By offering the Connie Jocasta Study Abroad Scholarship, we hope to make your study abroad experience much more affordable!
