Did you see the cost of your dream study abroad program and instantly cringe?

You're not alone -- studying abroad can be expensive but there are some ways around those hefty price tags. You could of course fundraise, take on a side job, and spend your summer saving up. But did you know there are also scholarships and grants offered specifically for students who want to study overseas?

That's right, scholarships for study abroad are widely available from a variety of sources. You can even find these opportunities right here on Go Overseas -- we run several scholarships throughout the year. For example, each year, you can apply to win a full scholarship to study abroad in New Zealand or Ireland.

Surprisingly, thousands of dollars worth of scholarships go unclaimed every year simply because no one applies for them. Some of this money could be YOURS.

The trick is knowing not only where to look for study abroad scholarships, but also how to apply for them. Even though they may not fully cover your study abroad costs, they'll help decrease your expenses and make your study abroad experience more affordable. Read on for tips on how to apply for study abroad grants and scholarships, as well as a helpful list of scholarships and grants you should apply for ASAP if you want to study abroad.

Quick Links in this Article

Before you dive in, a few quick notes.

First, this scholarship list is updated annually, and we do our very best to keep the deadlines accurate. We most recently updated the list in January 2018, so most deadlines for 2018 should be correct. We recommend always checking the scholarship website to confirm the official deadline and application process.

Next, we've set up the list of links above to help you "jump" to the part of the page you care about most. From each section, you can also "jump" back up to the table of contents. If you're feeling ambitious, you can also scroll to read the whole thing!

Third, if you know of a scholarship we should add to our list, please contact us and we will review and add applications we think the whole Go Overseas community should know about.

With no further ado: let's get started helping you win some study abroad scholarships!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Study abroad opportunities continue to be a popular choice for U.S. college students looking to expand their undergraduate education. In response to the increasing demand for international opportunities, campuses have diversified their study abroad program models. On many campuses, students not only have opportunities to study abroad during academic year, semester, and short-term programs, they can also elect to participate in non-credit volunteer, internship, and work abroad programs. In addition to university organized international opportunities, students often have access to informal and recreational travel experiences through connections with student groups, religious organizations, friends, and family. In conjunction with the myriad international opportunities in which students participate, there are also fundamental differences in the cultural experiences offered by each (Engle & Engle, 2003). This multi-institutional study attempts to discover whether different international activities in which students participate yield different outcomes for the development of students' global and intercultural competencies. The research question that guides this inquiry is as follows: controlling for other factors, is participation in these five types of international travel activities associated with different outcomes in students' development of global and intercultural competencies? The five international travel and study abroad measures analyzed include students' participation in a university study abroad program; study abroad program affiliated with another college or university; travel abroad for cross-cultural experiences or informal education; travel abroad for a service learning, volunteer, or work experience; and travel abroad for recreation. The five outcome variables used to measure students' development in global and intercultural competencies include self-reported gains in students' understanding of the complexities of global issues, ability to apply disciplinary knowledge in a global context, linguistic or cultural competency in another language, ability to work with people from other cultures, and comfort working with people from other cultures. This research paper contributes to the scholarly literature related to students' international and study abroad experiences because it examines the differential effects participation in several types of programs has on the development of students' global and intercultural competencies; as such, it provides student affairs practitioners, faculty members, and institutional decision-makers with insights into the types of international and study abroad experiences that provide students with the greatest opportunities for development and engagement.
