Hey everyone, I've been thinking about studying abroad during my senior year or in college. I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions for scholarships or programs that could help me fund this experience? Any tips are greatly appreciated!
Hey there! Studying abroad is such an enriching experience and it's great you're looking into ways to fund it. Start by searching for scholarships specifically targeting study abroad students. For example, IIE Generation Study Abroad Travel Grants and The Fund for Education Abroad both offer scholarships to support students seeking a study abroad opportunity.
You should also check if your school has scholarships available for their students studying abroad. Often, schools will have internal funding for these programs, so be sure to explore what resources are available on your campus. Don't forget to visit your study abroad office and ask about financial aid options as well.
Also, consider talking to your academic advisor who may have information about department- or major-specific scholarships. Lastly, searching for online scholarship databases, like CollegeVine, can help you find additional funding opportunities. Best of luck!
