Welch-Ludwig Fund for International Study

This fund provides scholarships to UB students pursuing studies overseas in various fields.

Created by two highly regarded and long-serving faculty internationalists at UB (Claude Welch and Jeannette Ludwig), this fund provides scholarships to UB students pursuing studies overseas in various fields. The example of Professor Welch’s and Professor Ludwig’s research and teaching about the global community inspires students to make the world their classroom. Based on available funds, a limited number of partial scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to assist students with the costs of study abroad for an academic year, semester, summer, or winter program.

UB’s inclusive community is nourished by its global diversity, with students, faculty and staff from many countries. In an increasingly global society, we are proud to have the world reflected on our campuses, and to provide all of our students with the unparalleled global learning opportunities that can only be found at a truly internationalized university. Your philanthropy will enable a richer experience for all students—including those from Buffalo, across the U.S. and around the globe.
