UWC students who wish to apply for Mitchell Scholarships may examine UM course catalogs at the UWC Office of International Relations. Transfer of academic credit will be determined by UWC and by each UM campus in accordance with each institution's study abroad credit transfer practices. Scholarship recipients are expected to take a full course load. Other costs should be considered and will vary with the individual student. They include visa and passport fees and costs for photos, immunizations, lodging and meals, local transportation and other travel.
Students are responsible for paying for their own expenses, including lodging and meals.
Scholarship recipients will be given assistance in making appropriate housing arrangements. Deadline for applications each year is February 15. UWC is assured of four scholarship recipients each year, and each UM campus is assured at least one recipient each year. The University of Missouri System, through the Office of the President, reserves the right to change the terms and conditions, as well as the number and financial amounts of scholarships as in its discretion is deemed appropriate from time to time. UWC students may obtain additional information from Professor Jan Persens, Director of International Relations, The University of the Western Cape.
