These scholarships, like all Viking scholarships, include travel within Scandinavia, with a standing invitation to visit BVO members and their families throughout the region.  Travel is pre-arranged and a requirement of the scholarship experience. Scholars are encouraged to pursue the advantages of the BVO network including learning more about individual interests in careers and hobbies through meeting other BVO members.  In addition, scholars can attend the annual BVO convention following the summer scholarship experience.  The 2015 BVO convention will be in Helsinki, Finland in late August, 2015.
