External Funding & Scholarships
On any program, students may be eligible to apply for outside funding to help support the costs of their study away program, whether that is the cost of meals, flights, or materials needed for the program. There is a wide variety of unique funding opportunities whether it is applying for a national or international scholarship, working as a media/student ambassador for your study away program, or connecting with your current organizations regarding funding for engaged learning.
