Dublin Business School (DBS) is delighted to announce that it will offer up to 40 ‘Generation Study Abroad’ scholarships to the value of $70,000 to students from the United States of America for entry in 2016. The purpose of these scholarships is to support and encourage American students to gain an international experience through study abroad. The scholarships will give particular encouragement and support to those students who traditionally would not choose a study abroad option.
Introducing the scholarships, Cliona O’Beirne, Director of Marketing and Admissions DBS said, “Studying abroad is the opportunity of a lifetime, a life-changing, exciting experience and an essential component in preparing bright, young students for the global marketplace. The DBS Study Abroad Program is a rewarding international learning opportunity where eligible American undergraduates spend a semester or full academic year at Dublin Business School. DBS has a long history in recruiting students from the US to Dublin on study abroad programmes and greatly values what the US students bring to these programmes at DBS”.
