Outside Scholarship Opportunities

Many study abroad programs have scholarship programs that can reduce study abroad costs. ÌýMost of the opportunities require that you be a participant on the specific study abroad program (IES, CIEE, SIT). However, there are some non-program specific opportunities. If you receive financial aid from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, outside scholarships can be used to cover the work-study and loan portions of your aid package.ÌýYou retain the remaining money unless your ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ grant and outside grant exceed the “Cost of Attendance.â€

Below is a sampling of available scholarships, these have various application deadlines and requirements. As you research programs for study, we suggest you also research potential scholarship opportunities.
