NSCS Member Awarded Scholarship to Attend International Program

April 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Richard Sellnow (Class of 2012) of The University of Kentucky is the 2011 recipient of the NSCS International Scholar Laureate Program Award.

This $2,000 award was created by The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) to help NSCS members attend one of ISLP’s many life-changing programs during the summer of 2011.

“The impact the this program has on students is immense,” said Steve Loflin, CEO & Founder of NSCS. “We as an organization continue work to develop scholarships like the NSCS-ISLP scholarship so that we can assist more students interested in participating in enriching and challenging programs like the ISLP program.”

ISLP programs include career-focused site visits, lectures and discussions with host nation students and professors. The programs, held in China, Australia, and the United States, have diverse themes with itineraries that aim to provide a sense of the country. Summer 2011 program themes will include Engineering, Medicine, Nursing, Business, and Diplomacy & International Relations.

“I am incredibly grateful to the National Society of Collegiate Scholars for honoring me with this most appreciated award,” said Sellnow. “Participating in the International Scholar Laureate Program is an amazing opportunity which will be of myriad benefits to me, but it is also an opportunity which I would have had difficulty taking advantage of without the most generous assistance of NSCS in the form of this award.”

Sellnow will be documenting his ISLP experience here: whatareyoureallychina.wordpress.com/
