How to Score Financial Aid for Study Abroad
We’ve compiled as many study abroad scholarships and grants as we could find right here, but it’s not an exhaustive one. In addition to looking here, here are some tips for finding more study abroad scholarships and grants:
Apply for federal financial aid — many students don’t realize that these government grants and loans may be used towards study abroad.
You can fill out the application, known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA, online at the US Department of Education FAFSA website
Once you pick a study abroad program, Google to find financial aid options available through that specific program.
Check with the government of the country you want to study abroad in — some give financial support to international students.
Visit your financial aid office, study abroad office, and foreign language departments to ask about potential funding sources.
Ask your study abroad advisor if there are any scholarships specific to your major.
Check local organizations like Sons of Italy chapters, German clubs, Hispanic heritage groups, Chinese-American associations, etc. to see if they offer scholarships.
Get busy applying for any scholarships, grants, or funding options you find!
