Edward L. Hutton Foundation Grant

Two grants from the Edward L. Hutton Foundation to the Indiana University Office of Overseas Study have helped fund new short-term study abroad programs, reducing program fees for students.

The grant has applied to IU-Administered programs in the first years of operation in these locations:

• Britain (London-Literature, London-Theatre, Oxford)
• Dominican Republic (Dominican Identity)
• France (Black Paris, Paris-History, Paris-Photography)
• Germany (Berlin Sculpture)
• Guyana (Georgetown)
• India (Bangalore)
• Japan (Documentary, Osaka—Photography)
• Mexico (Oaxaca)
• Netherlands (Amsterdam)
• Senegal (Dakar)
• Spain (Aranjuez)

Hutton, currently Chairman of Roto-Rooter, Inc. and Omnicare, grew up in Bedford, IN and earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees at IU. After completing his master’s, he served in the U.S. Army in Germany. When the war ended, he worked in Berlin and negotiated several trade agreements, helping to rebuild the German economy. This early experience in Europe inspired him to fund opportunities for IU students to study abroad.
