Gliozzo Endowment for Muslim Studies Established
Professor Emeritus, Charles A. Gliozzo and Mrs. Marjorie A. Gliozzo have established the first endowment for the Muslim Studies Program. It will provide scholarship to undergraduates whose principal interest is in studying some facet of the Muslim world. The scholarships will be administered by the Muslim Studies Program.
The Muslim Studies Program in International Studies and Programs will provide two scholarships of $750 each to undergraduates whose principal interest is in studying some facet of the Muslim world. The primary objective of the scholarship is to facilitate study and research about the Muslim world and to improve language competence. The scholarship may be availed in the Spring, Summer and/or Fall.
- The recipient must have a minimum 3.3 cumulative GPA at the time of the award of the scholarship.
- Only MSU undergraduate students enrolled in approved accredited programs are eligible for the award, for example student in the Muslim Studies Specialization.
- Students in other university programs who are studying about or conducting research on the Muslim world or developing Arabic language competence in the U.S. or overseas are also eligible for the award contingent upon the fact that it is an approved accredited program.
Muslim Studies faculty may nominate students for the award. Students engaged in studying the Muslim world may also apply for the award directly. However, in the latter case students need to submit a letter of support from at least one faculty member. Please send scholarship nominations or applications with supporting material to Professor Mohammed Ayoob, Coordinator of the Muslim Studies Program, at ayoob@msu.edu with a copy to enyart@msu.edu.
