Directed Spanish Study Abroad (DISSTA) Scholarship
The Directed Spanish Study Abroad (DISSTA) Scholarship was created to assist students who are studying abroad in Spanish-speaking countries. In the 2001 scholastic year, the scholarship will be awarded to students who will pursue summer study in Spain. The DISSTA program is designed to enrich participants' linguistic proficiency while immersing them for approximately one month in the culture. Eligible students must be registered at The University of Akron and be majoring or minoring in Spanish. Preference will be given to Spanish majors with high academic standing who are in the teacher licensure program. Consideration also will be given for financial need. Recipients will be determined by a committee convened and chaired by the Chair of the Department of Modern Languages in cooperation with the Financial Aid Office. This scholarship is funded annually by an anonymous donor.
