_The Bellaire PTO is pleased to offer the following opportunity for Study Abroad/Summer Studies Scholarships:
The PTO recognizes the educational value of Study Abroad programs and supports the efforts of students that seek to broaden their international understanding. The PTO will also support domestic enrichment programs that offer the same opportunities for service and leadership.
