We know that the commitment to study abroad comes at a price, and we understand the financial sacrifices many students and their families have to make in order to make study abroad happen. Fortunately, we’re on your side! Not only does USAC offer affordable study abroad programs around the world, we also offer study abroad scholarships and discounts to help fund your international education.
This fall, we’re introducing two new scholarships to our lineup. The deadline to apply is May 1, so read on to learn if you’re eligible.
Globe Trotter Series Scholarship
Recognizing study abroad as one of the best ways to promote both cultural understanding and cultural exchange, USAC alumnus Sean Mullen established the Globe Trotter Series Scholarship to support students pursuing international education within each of the following global regions: Latin America, Asia, Europe, and Africa/Middle East/Oceania. This scholarship is available in the fall and spring semesters to all degree-seeking students who meet their program minimum GPA.
Chonnam National University Merit Scholarship (Gwangju, Korea)
USAC’s partner university in Gwangju, Chonnam National University (CNU), is offering a merit-based scholarship to fall or spring semester incoming exchange/visiting students. The scholarship covers dormitory and meal plan expenses on-site.
Students must have a minimum 3.5 GPA to be eligible for this scholarship. There is no additional application as recipients are selected by the CNU Office of International Affairs based on information submitted during the host university application process, such as transcripts, self-introduction essay and study plan. Selected recipients will be contacted about one month prior to the program start date.
