Funding an experience

ADD ADVENTURE TO YOUR DEGREE

Any hesitation about studying abroad is typically related to the cost. What most students don’t know is that they can actually apply their current on-campus financial aid package to their study abroad trip in addition to scholarships.

A study abroad scholarship is a monetary award for students to use toward the expenses of their program such as travel, course, credits, books and lodging. Students must apply for scholarships and some can be very competitive while others are underutilized.
