Professor Byron Bondurant established an endowment to provide our American students an opportunity to gain some International experience.

Professor Bondurant was on the OSU faculty from 1964 until 1985, and during those years he spent substantial time teaching Agricultural Engineering in developing countries including India, Kenya and Somalia. He always felt, and still does, that we need to spend time another country, learning the culture, visiting people and seeing for ourselves how they live.

The Bondurant International grant often is awarded to students who participate in s study-abroad program, but other trips and study opportunities have been approved. Destination countries have included Australia, Uganda, China, and the Dominican Republic.

Our goal for the study-abroad award is to cover the student's expenses above what it would cost to finish a quarter on campus.

The recipients of the A. C. Bondurant International Study Grants for 2005 are:
Janell Henry - Ms. Henry will study at the Tecnologico de Monterey, Mexico
Bethany Frew - Ms. Frew will study in the Czech Republic
