The Louis Berger International Scholar Award is valued at a yearly maximum of $15,000 to cover tuition and fees and a partial stipend for a Master's or Doctoral student for the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 semesters. Additional support may be available as a supplemental stipend for doctoral study. Only students with a prior master's degree will be considered for doctoral awards.
