Application Process for Scholarships Administered by the Learning Abroad Center

Home > Financial Resources > Scholarships

Funds are available for scholarships on all four campuses of the University. Each campus administers their own scholarship process, and you apply to your home campus for scholarships, no matter which program you've selected.

Scholarships are awarded based on basic eligibility criteria and an essay. Complete a University-Wide Study Abroad Scholarship Application, and attach the essay.

Scholarship Essay

250–300 words that will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
  • Explain study abroad's impact on your personal, academic, and long term goals
  • Justify the program selected and how you are preparing for it
  • Be thoughtful in your presentation
  • Quality, including grammar, style, and attention to detail

Submit the scholarship application and essay separately from your program application.  Be sure to check the scholarship deadlines for the term you may be applying. Applications must be received by the Learning Abroad Center no later than 4:00 pm on the application deadline date. There are no exceptions for late applications.
