The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures is pleased to offer the following scholarships in support of study abroad experiences for our students. In addition, please view the UB Office of Study Abroad's comprehsive list of study abroad scholarships.
The Linda Rock and the Maria E. Becker Scholarships were established by the Rock and Becker families to pay tribute to their beloved daughters, Linda Diane Rock and Maria E. Becker, and to honor their memory by supporting study abroad, which played a tremendous role in the lives of their daughters. The scholarship amount varies depending on availability of funds and number of applicants. Scholarships are awarded once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester for various terms (winter, spring, summer, fall), and are administered by the department.
Please note: Linda Rock scholarships support French, Italian or Spanish majors/minors. Maria Becker scholarships support French students.
