Umbra-Perugia Sister City Scholarship

sistercity22The purpose of this scholarship is to further strengthen the close and friendly relations between the Umbra Institute, the City of Perugia, and her Sister Cities in the U.S. by making studying abroad in Perugia more affordable for college and university students who are residents of Grand Rapids, Michigan or Seattle, Washington.
