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 will use the scholarship this year 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 Alma Bailey.

J.B. Bailey, an OSU graduate, and his brother Richard E. Bailey, a longtime 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 their grandmother, Ida L. Davis, and their mother, Lalla D. Bailey. Both brothers are now deceased.

A three-member CAS faculty committee selected students for the foreign study scholarships. Since 1985-86, the scholarships have been awarded to 192 students for a total of $1,366,82, and this year, a total of $120,000 was awarded.
