The Huntington National Bank pledged over $300,000 to The Ohio State University Campaign in the form of an endowed fund to benefit undergraduate humanities students (sophomores or juniors) interested in international business and world languages.

Purpose

This program is intended to permit students majoring in the humanities with interest and supporting work in international business and trade to spend an extended time abroad to enhance their fluency in the world language, their knowledge of the foreign culture, and their understanding of the workings and environment of international commerce.  The Huntington International Fellowship does require an academic component of intermediate to advanced language program study or coursework.

Institutional Scholarships 

Williamson College (WC) offers a variety of need-based and merit-based scholarships.  Funding is contingent upon federal, state and other outside resources the student receives. Scholarship applications are available at the time of admission to the college as well as available on the WC website.  The Scholarship Committee awards scholarships and recipients are notified in writing.  In the event that funds are not secured, students will be notified.  Students can receive only one institutional scholarship per 20 week enrollment period. 

Benefits

The scholarship provides $750 per payment period, renewable based on meeting academic and enrollment criteria.

About Wells College

The exploration of ideas from multiple perspectives. Connection with a close community of professors and friends. Seminar-like classes that allow for deep discussion and scholarship. An emphasis on experiential learning, collaboration and real-world preparation. A breathtaking campus on the shores of Cayuga Lake. These are just a few reasons why Wells is not your ordinary college education.

Internships and Experiential Learning

Internships provide an easy and popular path to firsthand business experience. Work with professionals on-site and discover what you love to do, and more importantly, what you don’t! Learn industry practices and the demands of the market while earning credit towards your degree.

Teaching and learning

In Semester 1, the taught phase of the course, you will study modern concepts of molecular genetics through intensive laboratory classes. You will be trained in laboratory techniques and will develop your proficiency in experimental design through hands-on laboratory experiments.

Alongside the laboratory classes, you will have a core lecture programme, which is shared between our various postgraduate laboratory-based courses and will develop your specialist knowledge. There are also optional lectures in fields related to your own, which will allow you to increase your understanding of the interdisciplinary aspects of your speciality.
