Susan Scott was the first Director of the Study Abroad Office, and under her guidance and support, The University of Mississippi’s exchange and study abroad programs have grown from serving a handful of students to hundreds of outgoing and incoming students each year. 
 
Susan studied in Grenoble, France, for an academic year as a graduate student and counts it is as one of the most wonderful experiences of her life.  As such, Susan’s belief in study abroad being a transformative and valuable experience not only for individual students but the University of Mississippi itself is a lasting contribution to the university’s plans for internationalization.   The Study Abroad Office wishes to honor Susan Scott’s contribution to study abroad and internationalization at The University of Mississippi through a merit- and need-based scholarship for semester study.  In her name, the Study Abroad Office will provide a small number of up to $1,000 scholarships per academic year beginning in Spring 2016 depending on departmental budget.
