International Scholarships
Valpo offers the Dr. Hugh McGuigan Scholarship to recognize leadership and academic achievement among international students. Eligible applicants must meet GPA, visa, and enrollment requirements.
Dr. Hugh McGuigan Scholarship
As a result of an initiative by Kunle Oguneye (‘97) and other international alumni, a scholarship fund was started in January 2018 in honor of Dr. Hugh McGuigan, retired Director of International Studies (1983-2008). The first one-time scholarships were awarded to two international students in spring 2020, three were selected in spring 2021, and four were awarded in spring 2022.
