I am pleased to announce that members of the Rainbow SIG have created a special annual scholarship for American LGBT study abroad students. Hosted and administered by the Fund for Education Abroad (FEA), the FEA Rainbow Scholarship will award up to $5000 to an LGBT student for use during the 2012-2013 academic year. Details about the scholarship application can be found at www.fundforeducationabroad.org<http://www.fundforeducationabroad.org>. We encourage qualified students to consider applying. The application deadline for the first award is November 14, 2011. If you have any questions about this scholarship, please contact me at the address below.
