Bragg-Harvard-MuhammadSmith (BHMS) Study-Away Scholarship

The BHMS Study-Away Scholarship provides financial support for travel and tuition costs associated with Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) study-away trips. Students must be enrolled in a course-based trip to be eligible. The scholarship may be applied to both domestic and international study-away experiences, with preference given to international trips in less-visited or underrepresented countries and regions. Award amounts vary and are intended to reduce financial barriers so more students can participate in transformative study-away opportunities.
