TCA is pleased to announce that after receiving a record number of applications in 2015, it has awarded nine grants to faculty-led study tour programs organized by American universities. The TCA Study Tour Grant program supports educational tours to Turkey and this year will provide a total of $41,350, which will benefit 105 students.
Now in its fifth year, the TCA Study Tour Grant program provides an incentive to American institutions of higher education to choose Turkey as their study abroad destination. TCA’s grants are designed to support study tours by decreasing costs for students and increasing participation in programs in Turkey.

Buffalo State - SUNY - 10 students will participate in an interdisciplinary program that explores Turkish history and culture.
