International Scholarships

To apply for either of these scholarships, please complete the application below. The Scholarship Committee will determine which funds, if any, your trip is eligible to receive. The fall application deadline is October 1 and the spring application deadline is March 1. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.

 

Meeting the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee that you will receive scholarship funds, which are limited. Depending on the number of applicants, the Scholarship Committee reserves the right to ask for additional evidence of eligibility (such as letters of recommendation or applicant interviews). Preference will be given to applicants who have not had, nor anticipate having, institutionally-funded travel experience. The Scholarship Committee recommends that you complete a FAFSA if you would like to be considered for these awards, since financial need is taken into account. The Scholarship committee reserves the right to lower the award cap in years when applicant demand is high.
