Rose Bui was a Croft Institute for International Studies and Honors College student at Ole Miss from 2001-04. In her short tenure at the university she was a leader both on campus and nationally. She received the David L. Boren Scholarship to study abroad in 2004. It was during her semester abroad in China that she was diagnosed with lymphoma. She returned to the University to complete her studies and receive treatment. In the Spring 2005 semester she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and named to Who’s Who and the University’s Hall of Fame. She died in June 2005.
The Rose Bui Memorial Scholarship for Study Abroad was created to honor Rose’s commitment to international education and her role as a conscious global citizen. The scholarship is open to students studying through a UM program in Asia. Applicants must fill out a Study Abroad Office Scholarship Application and turn in a completed UM application for study abroad in order to be considered. Students must also submit a personal statement about how study in Asia will be a path to fulfilling personal, academic, and career goals.

IUSI
Students who apply to study abroad on the Mexican Studies program in Queretaro Mexico are eligible to receive a need-based scholarship of up to $1500 for a semester abroad.

To qualify for this award students must turn in a Study Abroad Office Scholarship Application as well as an additional IUSI scholarship application that can be picked up in the Study Abroad Office.
