Scholarships
Scholarships are gifts of money that do not need to be repaid, provided the enrollment period is completed.
Students should first search for a scholarship, then choose a program that fits the scholarship funding criteria. Some scholarships listed below may not be specifically for study abroad, but award committees often allow you to use a scholarship toward study abroad – always ask!
