Barry Stamps Scholars Programme 2023 (Fully-Funded)

Deadline: January 15, 2023

Barry University partners with the Stamps Scholars Program to award multi-year scholarships to help driven and talented student leaders achieve their education and life goals.

Stamps Scholars pursue their educational interests while developing their leadership skills with merit-based financial aid including enrichment funds that can be used for study abroad, cultural exchanges, research projects, and other educational experiences. Stamps Scholars also join a community of more than 2,800 current and alumni Stamps Scholars around the world with whom they network and share their experiences.

With the generous support of the Stamps Scholars Program, the program invests in an exclusive group of high-achieving incoming freshmen with interest in leadership and service.
