Dear Parents:

CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange, I am pleased to announce that Rowland High School High School has been selected to participate in the 2015-16 Global Navigator Scholarship awards for summer study abroad. The scholarships are intended to open the world to students, helping them navigate across languages, connect with other cultures, and develop global competencies for thriving in today’s interconnected world.

The Global Navigator Scholarships earmark $20,000 in scholarship dollars for students in your school to study abroad during the summer. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who elect to apply to the CIEE Summer High School Abroad programs will be considered for the awards, based on both merit and need.
