SCWA STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIPS

The Savannah Council on World Affairs (SCWA) provides annual student stipends to support engagement in educational study abroad programs. SCWA believe that such programs increase an individual’s perspective on world affairs and give them a better foundation for future global community involvement.

Candidates from SCCPSS “Reach the World”, GSU and SSU undergraduates must have already been accepted to a study abroad program, meet SCWA academic criteria, and have a verifiable financial need. Academic coordinators screen prospective candidates and provide recommendations to the SCWA Board of Directors.

Your generous donation can help SCWA increase monetary and/or participatory levels.

Make a designated SCWA Study Abroad Scholarship donation now.

On behalf of Savannah area students, Thank You!

Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs.

MEMBERS’ RECOMMENDED READING

If you have a book or article on world affairs which you feel would be especially valuable for other Members to read, please send an email with the details to savannahcwa@gmail.com

Here is an example received recently:

“Red Notice” is a story about a Wall Street maverick, Bill Browder, whose instincts led him to Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, where he made his fortune. Along the way, he exposed corruption and barely escaped with his life. After his Russian lawyer was tortured to death, he spent a half-decade on a campaign to expose the corruption. Because of that, he became Putin’s number one enemy.https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Red-Notice/Bill-Browder/9781476755748
