Study Abroad Opportunities

Posted on February 16, 2023

The International Language and Culture Study Award scholarship program, administered by the GCC International Studies Committee, has been sponsored jointly by the Student Senate and the President since 2000. Each summer, scholarship recipients spend several weeks in a language and culture institute in a French- or Spanish-speaking country, immersing themselves in that country’s culture and language. Students develop communication skills and gain understanding of other cultures by attending language classes at the institute, visiting local sites of cultural interest and staying with local host families. Students must have had some prior study of the language, must be returning to GCC in the fall following study abroad and must have completed 12 credits at GCC. For more information, contact the chair of the International Studies Committee at (413) 775-1282.
