Why: Since 1998 Marion Parry, a friend of SAIC, has generously provided the means for students to travel to destinations around the globe. Travel can change your perspective, fuel your imagination, allow you to test new waters, and to find inspiration. For the past 20 years, Marion’s grants have facilitated students’ travel around the U.S. and the world.
