Eighteen students receive Bailey Scholarships to Study Abroad

Thursday, May 3, 2007

Eighteen Oklahoma State University students have been selected as recipients of the Bailey Family Memorial Trust Scholarship and will study abroad during the coming year.

OSU students this year will use the scholarship to study in Spain, Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Germany, England, France and Morocco. Students were honored at a banquet in Tulsa on April 18 with Mrs. Alma Bailey.

J.B. Bailey, an OSU graduate, and his brother Richard E. Bailey, a long-time OSU professor of humanities and the founder of the first study abroad program in the College of Arts and Sciences, established the scholarship on Oct. 24, 1982, in memory of Ida L. Davis, their grandmother, and Lalla D. Bailey, their mother. Both brothers are now deceased.

Students were selected for the foreign study scholarships by a three-member faculty committee of the OSU College of Arts and Sciences. Since 1985-86, the scholarships has been awarded to 192 students for a total of $1,366,82, and a total of $120,000 was awarded this year.
