Student Scholarships

The Global Awareness Society International encourages participation by both undergraduate and graduate students in annual conference events. We try to provide a supportive environment for young scholars to present results on a variety of topics related to the effects of globalization. Topics of past presentations have included global social work projects, development projects in third world countries, the need for global education in American schools, and the experiences of foreign exchange students in universities in America and abroad.

For the 22nd Annual conference in Rome, Italy the conference theme is Challenges and Opportunities of the Global Financial Crises. Several student scholarships of up to $700.00 each have been made available on a competitive basis to help support student participation. An individual presentation is highly encouraged.
