Eagles Fly is a travel scholarship awarded to students who: 

• Are passionate about language and culture.
• Demonstrate financial need.
• Want to explore another country with a TG World Language travel abroad opportunity.

The Tower of Babel is a story of people’s failed attempts to reach God by their own efforts. God confused their language so that they are not able to communicate with one another, and therefore were unable to complete their task. One interpretation of this story is that God is saying to God’s people that the way to God is not through our own means, but through coming together with others who are different. Language study is one way people can learn more about God and about one another.

Recipient requirements:

• Be enrolled in a world language at Totino-Grace.
• Demonstrate enthusiasm regarding the study of language and culture.
• Demonstrate financial need as determined by TG Financial Aid Office.
• Be planning to travel with a TG World Language sponsored trip.
• Complete the application for the scholarship at least three months before travel.

Scholarship amount: Up to $2,000 per year will be awarded, the sum of which will be divided among those who are awarded the scholarship.
