The Julius E. Babbitt Study Abroad Scholarship was set up in memory of Julius E. Babbitt, a 1991 Bentley alumnus who passed away. Several of Babbitt's classmates created the fund in his honor to support Bentley students in their international education endeavors. This award supports the Cronin Office of International Education’s goal to increase access to students from underrepresented backgrounds to study abroad and provide them with the support and guidance they need as they prepare for and embark on their international experiences. The award may be used toward costs associated with participating in a Bentley study abroad program including course fees, room and board, travel expenses, immunizations, passport/visa fees, etc. One $2,500 scholarship will be awarded per year.
