An additional $675 from the Zeta Gamma Chapter of Phi Beta Delta has been added to the total  pool that is available.  These additional funds were obtained from the sale of 2011 calendars filled with stunning images from around the world taken by NIU study abroad students.  The Zeta Gamma Chapter is in the planning stages for the 2012 calendar.

Students may obtain applications for the Travel Grant from the Study Abroad Office and will be accepted through May 6, 2011.  For more information about the Travel Grant or about Phi Beta Delta calendars, please contact Pamela Rosenberg in the Division of International Programs at prosenberg@niu.edu or 815-753-9530.
