Study Abroad Immersion Scholarship
Travel is an integral part of learning, allowing individuals to understand other people and cultures firsthand.
For young people, it can be difficult to find opportunities to travel. Between the costs of transportation and accommodations and a lack of time off from school and work, many people put off traveling. Studying abroad is a unique opportunity for students to not only travel to, but live in another country, getting to know the customs, culture, and traditions of their new home.
This scholarship seeks to support undergraduate students from the Midwest who are preparing to study abroad and immerse themselves in new countries.
Any four-year undergraduate student who has been accepted into a study abroad program through their university may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they reside in the Midwest (Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, or Kentucky).
To apply, tell us where you are in the study abroad process, where you plan to study, and how you plan to truly immerse yourself in the culture. Additionally, upload a file showing your acceptance into a study abroad program.
