Education Abroad Scholarships
Three key approaches to fund your education abroad programs:

- Scholarships - You should research and apply for scholarships, including:
- Providers: All of our providers offer discounts and scholarships that can help alleviate the costs of your education abroad programs.
- National scholarships such as the Fulbright, Boren, and Gilman awards.

Federal Scholarships
The U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, providing them with skills critical to our national security and economic prosperity. To be eligible for the Gilman Program, applicants must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant during the time of application or provide proof that they will be receiving a Pell Grant during the term of their study abroad program or internship. The Institute of International Education has administered the program since its inception in 2001.
You will need to meet with the Office of Global Engagement before you submit a Gilman application.
The Fund for Education Abroad
The Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) is a non-profit organization that provides scholarships and ongoing support to students who are underrepresented among the U.S. study abroad population.
FEA awards up to $10,000 for an academic year abroad, $5,000 for a fall or spring semester abroad, and summer scholarships are pro-rated based on length of program.
While we encourage all students to apply for an FEA scholarship, preference is given to students of color, first-generation college students, community college students, and students with high financial need.
Boren Awards 2022 application is open!
Boren Awards provides up to $25,000 funding for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to study less commonly taught languages in regions critical to U.S. interests: Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
