Use your stipend to Study Abroad in Summer, Fall or Spring

If you receive a Temple Merit Scholarship Educational Enhancement Stipend, you have the option to use one stipend per academic year (academic years run fall through summer) towards an approved study abroad program with a minimum stay abroad of 28 days during either a summer or semester.
 

What is the Merit Scholarship Education Enhancement Stipend?

Temple's Merit Scholarship Educational Enhancement Stipend is used to fund a research project, internship or study away/study abroad (up to $4,000). Please check your Temple admissions letter to determine if you receive a stipend and ensure that you are still eligible.
