The School Of Management’s Joseph T.J. Stewart Global Citizenship Program Study-Abroad Scholarship
The University at Buffalo School of Management, in conjunction with the Joseph T.J. Stewart Endowment, offers eligible students the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to support study-abroad experiences.
In an evolving global economy, there is no question that our best prepared students will bring an international perspective with them when they enter the job market. With this in mind, we are pleased to be able to offer a limited number of scholarships through a competitive application process.
