Andrea DeTerra, a Cornell senior with a double major in theater and English, has received a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship for a year of study in Spain.
The $21,500 scholarship will enable DeTerra to study Spanish literature and theater at the University of Seville for the 1996-97 academic year. The award, which is available only to non-Rotarians, covers round-trip transportation, a month of intensive Spanish training in Madrid, and two semesters of living and studying in Seville.
DeTerra's study in Spain will not be applicable toward an academic degree; instead, it is intended "to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries," according to a Rotary publication. She will be required to make several talks to Rotary and other groups in Spain and in her home state of Alaska when she returns.
DeTerra will graduate from Cornell on May 26 in the top 10 percent of her class.
