Scholarships
The Dalton Scholarship for International Internships
The Dalton Scholarship is designed to help support students who are completing international internships. The scholarship is offered annually and can be awarded to one or multiple students. The amount of the award is determined by the committee making the award decisions, and funds available in any given year.
Students can find the application on the PCIE MyQueens page. Students are encouraged to consider how the experience will benefit their education at Queens, their future goals with work or further education, and how the experience will personally enrich them. Essays will be the main factor in determining the awarding of the scholarship, but GPA, previous travel, and the internship information will be considered.
Once the application date has passed, a committee will review the applications and select recipients. The decisions of this committee are final. Applicants will be notified about the status of their application in December and those awarded the scholarship will be granted the funds through their student account via financial aid at the end of the spring semester, provided that all requirements for the PCIE and Vandiver Center for Career Development have been met.
After returning, students will be asked to prepare a short thank-you note for the donors explaining the adventure they had abroad, and how the scholarship helped them personally with this program.
