The Josefina and Enrique Pujals Study Abroad Scholarship Fund

This is a new scholarship that has just been founded (Spring 2009) and must meet its endowment target in order to be made available for students.  It will be awarded every 2 years for those wishing to study abroad.  Though a specific date cannot be given at this time as to when the first applicants may apply, it is projected to be first awarded for Academic Year 2011.  Once the endowment has been reached, applications will be available in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures.

This scholarship is to honor Dr. Josefina Pujals and Dr. Enrique Pujals for their dedication, devotion and instrumental role in the advisement and education of countless numbers of Rowan University Spanish Majors over three decades. In particular, it pays tribute to the warmness with which they interacted with students and the hearts they touched both in the classroom and out.  This scholarship will assist and encourage qualified Spanish majors to take advantage of the innumerable Study Abroad opportunities available to them in Latin America, homeland of the Pujals and cultural heritage to many Rowan students as well as to the surrounding general population.   Its purpose is to serve Spanish Majors in their desire to improve their language skills, to increase their knowledge and awareness of other peoples and cultures and to broaden their world vision through exposure to the larger culture of Hispanic study and thought.
