  2. My name is Courtney nine, and I am submitting a
  3. budget proposal for the Office of International Education at Endicott
  4. College. In this budget proposal, I will highlight the proposal
  5. itself my rational strategic plan in the assessment of this
  6. proposal, it is known throughout the international education community that
  7. study abroad and experiential based learning can create some financial
  8. racial divides among students by increasing the Office of International
  9. Education's budget by 20%.
  10. To be specifically uses a need based study abroad scholarship
  11. fund. What allow more students, such as first generation college
  12. students, minority and financially dependent students have the opportunity to
  13. afford to complete a study of our program while attending
  14. college? Yeah, the Office of International Education's mission statement is
  15. to offer excellent, innovative in diverse cultural cross cultural learning
  16. experiences for all students.
  17. This proposal would be honoring that mission as it would
  18. create a more inclusive and affordable environment for students that
  19. would normally not be able to afford a study abroad
  20. program. With majority of students studying abroad being predominantly white,
  21. wealthier students, it is important to have a more diverse
  22. representation of Americans while abroad.
  23. Due to most host countries.
  24. Interactions primarily stemming from interacting with study abroad.
  25. Students toe honor the Office of International Educations 2014.

  30. end of the decade.
  31. And, lastly, to help increase the underrepresented minority in first
  32. generation college student ratio at Endicott College.
  33. The strategic plan is to offer an optional section on.
  34. The study brought application for a need based study abroad
  35. scholarship opportunity that students would need to apply through their
  36. application portal.
  37. Eligible candidates would be first generation college students, minority students
  38. and financially dependent students such a students that rely on
  39. federal state loans and grants to be able to attend
  40. at the college.
  41. These students would then have to explain through their application
  42. how they plan to use the scholarship.
  43. If awarded, the 20% budget increase would allow the opportunity
  44. to budget and disperse scholarship funds via tuition assistance for
  45. that semester, airfare assistance or potentially a cashier's check to
  46. help cover the costs while studying abroad.
  47. These scholarships will be given all out on a need
  48. on Li basis and be reviewed by the Office of
  49. International Education Staff to help promote diversity, retention and graduation
  50. among first generation minority and financially dependent students.

  52. scholarships would be valued and measured by examining the potential
  53. increased enrollment, retention and graduation of minority first generation of
  54. financially dependent college students.

  56. the study abroad Initiative organization and to potentially work with
  57. the Career and Internships Center to track progress of pretension
  58. and success of the students who were awarded thes study
  59. abroad. Need based scholarships determined to determine its long term
  60. impacts on students in the overall diversity contribution of study
