Description

Inspired by the adventures and pioneering spirit of UNC alumnus Peter McMillan ’81, the Vimy Award is given annually to one interdisciplinary team of students (Vimy Scholars) working collaboratively to pursue research or service projects outside the United States. Made possible by the Global Education Fund, up to $15,000 is provided to fund a summer team project abroad.

This award is intended to support UNC undergraduate and masters-level students in completing self-directed or designed group projects internationally during the summer. We encourage teams with a diversity of degree status students (masters and undergraduates) working together to apply.
