Study Abroad Fellowships & Awards

Study Abroad Fellowships & Awards

Nationally competitive study abroad scholarships provide financial support to students pursuing study, research or internships abroad as part of their undergraduate program. Some of these opportunities have very early deadlines, so it’s important to start considering both study abroad and the award as early as possible.

Citizenship and Study Abroad Fellowships and Awards

The Hubbard Center for Student Engagement maintains a number of scholarships that support off-campus study that are open to all students regardless of citizenship. Students without US citizenship can also find additional databases on the Other Resources page.
