[Institution] Institute for Study Abroad (IFSA) at Butler University [Source] IFSA-Butler Scholar Program for First Generation College Students [Program Details] 
Butler University recognizes that first generation college students have some of the lowest rates of study abroad participation among college students in the U.S. The University designed the Scholar Program for First Generation College Students to increase the participation of first generation students in study abroad. The achievement-based scholarship program provides financial, academic and pre-professional support for students. The scholarship covers many upfront costs, provides students with special information, and includes a resume-building workshop to assist students among other services. The program aims to reduce the challenges faced by first generation students and to ensure their time abroad translates to further successes once they have retuned to their home university. The scholarship is available to students who take part in semester or yearlong programs.
