Grant H. Flint International Scholarship Program
We will not be offering the Grant H. Flint International Scholarship Program this year. Chapters are welcome to continue offering this on the chapter level.
Participation in the Grant H. Flint International Scholarship Program begins at the Chapter level. Contact the chapter in which your state or province is located for their specific application requirement, as they may have an additional award and funding round that follows a different schedule than the SWANA International Program.
