Tabor Global Scholars Program

Tabor Global Scholars Benefits

• $1,000 scholarship per year
• International travel at the end of the spring semester of the student’s first year at Millikin
• Service opportunities that establish TGS students as leaders on Millikin’s campus
• Small cohorts that facilitate relationship building among TGS students and faculty

Scholarships awarded through the Tabor Global Scholars program are in addition to Academic Excellence Scholarships and any other scholarships for which students are eligible. Millikin-provided scholarships and grants can be renewed for up to four consecutive years for students who continue to meet the eligibility criteria and make satisfactory academic progress toward their degrees.

Tabor Global Scholars is a selective program that allows first-year students in the Tabor School of Business the opportunity to travel and study abroad via a paid international trip at the end of their first year as part of a spring course taught by Millikin faculty. The program gives students access to the transformational experience of international travel and study abroad opportunities early in their college careers. This allows TGS students to:

• Stimulate greater intellectual curiosity, beginning in their first year at Millikin;
• Practice democratic citizenship in a global environment;
• Share and reflect upon their experiences with the Millikin community; and
• Have the opportunity to study abroad again in future years.

Selected students remain Tabor Global Scholars throughout all four years at Millikin and are leaders on campus. In their second, third and fourth years, students will serve as ambassadors for Millikin’s international student population, provide mentorship to Millikin students wishing to study abroad, and assist the Center for International Education with international programming. Additional courses are also suggested in the second and subsequent years to further students’ global business acumen.

In order to be considered for the Tabor Global Scholars program, students must meet the following criteria:

• Be a first-year student in Fall 2025 or later
• Have a minimum unweighted GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale
• Declare a major within the Tabor School of Business

While any student meeting the eligibility requirements is welcome to apply to the TGS program, special consideration is given to students with a demonstrated interest in international education and travel, students who have not traveled or studied abroad previously, and students from underrepresented populations.
