Program Description:

Margaret “Hodgie” Bricke’s commitment to international education remained constant throughout her three decades at KU. Hodgie founded GAP in 2004 and considered it one of her most important professional achievements. Family and friends are honoring her passion for international travel and education with the Hodgie Bricke Memorial Scholarship Fund. 

Each semester, the Bricke scholarship fund will provide a financial need-based $1,000 scholarship to a GAP student studying abroad for a semester or academic year. Two financial need-based $500 awards will go to GAP students participating in study abroad programs over the summer.  

Students who are awarded GAP scholarship must write a thank you letter to the donor, including information about their plan of study. Additionally, awardees are asked to do an outreach project such as running social media for a short time or doing classroom presentations. Students will be notified of any scholarship requirements in their award email.
