Study abroad

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has awarded more than $100,000 in privately funded, need- and merit-based scholarships to 38 undergraduates for 2009 summer, fall and academic year study abroad programs.

The scholarships are supported by 15 endowment funds established by private donors.

Two area students will benefit from the scholarships.

The Bejarano-Benning Study Abroad Scholarship for Spain/Iberian Peninsula was established by Leslie Benning of New York City, a 1979 Carolina graduate, and her husband, Dr. Rafael Bejarano, in 2003. The fund provides at least one scholarship annually for semester or year-long programs in Spain or Portugal.

Recipient John Fioravanti is a senior economics major from Mooresville, and will spend the fall semester in Spain with the UNC program in Sevilla.

Grey Lineweaver Study Abroad Scholarship will go to Yvonne White, a sophomore psychology major from Salisbury. She is also studying at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador this summer.

Grey Lineweaver, a 1962 Carolina graduate from Greensboro, established this scholarship in 2005 with matching funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The resulting fund provides at least one scholarship per year for study in Latin America.
