Prof. Dr. Marilyn Coles (http://www.eiu.edu/include12/global/profile.php?id=mjcoles) has provided funding to establish the Marilyn Joy Coles Music Study Abroad Scholarship Fund. EIU students majoring in music are encouraged to apply for this scholarship which is awarded annually every Spring for the Summer, Fall and Spring terms.
Thank you very much, Dr. Coles, for not just encouraging students to leave their home turf to academically discover new places, but for truly embracing the spirit of studying abroad!
The program is so geared toward helping students succeed, it would have been hard not to meet goals. The faculty are fantastic and my experience in a host family was very warm and one I will never forget.
