How to request a semester-long work exemption

We encourage all of our scholars to take advatage of educationally-meaningful experiences, such as overseas study, student teaching, and internships.

To receive financial support for participation in these activities, you may be eligible to receive a one-semester exemption from the Cox Scholarship work requirement.

To be considered for exemption, your request must be approved one complete semester in advance of the semester you plan to be away. You’ll need approvals from: 

• Your program coordinator
• The Cox Scholars Program Director
• Your work site host, once the exemption has been approved

To request an exemption, please fill out the form below to notify of us of your plans.
