Wilson Language Grants
MBA is pleased to continue the Wilson Language Immersion & Wilson Language Travel Grants for this coming summer. Students who excel in Chinese, French, German, or Spanish are eligible for an immersion grant beginning their first year of study. Students who have received an immersion grant for modern language and who continue to excel in their language of study are then eligible to apply for a travel grant. A modern language student has to have participated in an immersion grant in order to qualify for a travel grant. Students who excel in Latin and who are currently in Latin III or higher can apply for a travel grant to Rome. Approximately 50 immersion and travel grants are awarded each year.
