The George and Lynn Puia International Studies Endowment assists with expenses for a study abroad experience. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, have achieved minimum sophomore standing (31 credits or more), have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and must not have participated in a study abroad program. Recipients may not be participants in an SVSU group program with substantial study abroad components supported all or in part by those programs (faculty-led programs). Students participating in non-credit or fully-funded programs are not eligible.
