Scholarships
There are 1000's of scholarships available to study abroad. Many have only minimal requirements and are not based on GPA's or financial need. We recommend you search the web for scholarships also offered by the government of the country where you will study. Many companies in the travel industry offer scholarships as well. Do YOUR research!
Eligibility for some scholarships is based on program length, academic performance, and the number of academic credits students will receive on their programs. Review the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ and major National opportunities below, then initiate your scholarship applications. We provide assistance and endorsements ifÌýrequired for scholarships outside of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼.
