Walton Global Sustainability Studies Scholarship

The Walton Global Sustainability Studies Scholarship supports students who want to participate in a special learning experience about sustainability issues in other countries. This scholarship is only applicable for approved Global Sustainability Studies programs. Scholarship awards of approximately $1,000 will be awarded to a limited number of qualified students enrolled in School of Sustainability summer study abroad courses (SOS prefix courses.)

The following programs are eligible for the $1,000 scholarship:

• Botswana: Sustainability, Wildlife and Conservation in the Okavango Delta
