Allison Feldman Memorial Study Abroad Scholarship

Allison Feldman Memorial Study Abroad Scholarship

University of Arizona graduate and Study Abroad alumna Allison Feldman passed away at 31 years old. Her family and friends created an endowment in her name to memorialize her transformative study abroad experience in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, in 2004. Her father encouraged Allison to study abroad, and says she returned to the U.S. more confident, excited about life, and a fluent Spanish speaker. He and Allison’s mother, along with close friends, hope to honor her memory by providing study abroad opportunities to deserving University of Arizona students. Award amounts vary (minimum amount is $500), eligible to be used towards spring semester or calendar year study abroad programs.

The UA Study Abroad Office will automatically determine your eligibility for the Allison Feldman Memorial Scholarship upon committing to an eligible study abroad program and does not require an additional application.
