1. John G. Arneberg Foreign Travel Scholarships
The purpose of these scholarships is "to encourage and improve education in foreign languages, preferably the German, Scandinavian and French languages," although awards have also been made to students of Chinese, Greek, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. John G. Arneberg stated that his principal objective in establishing this trust was "to promote better international relations through better knowledge and understanding of the languages, customs, literature, art and traditions of other countries," and he stipulated that scholarships were to be awarded to University of North Dakota language students who had shown "exceptional interest and proficiency in the field." In recent years about twenty-five scholarships have been awarded annually in amounts up to about $2500.
The same application is used for both the Arneberg and the Larsen scholarships. The 2012 due date is January 30.
