PRINTDiversity Study Abroad Scholarships
Diversity Abroad partners with dozens of study abroad organizations. Several of these organizations offer diversity study abroad scholarships. See details of the scholarships below:
Augsburg College Center for Global Education
Two AIFS Diversity Scholarships for 50% of the program fee and round trip air fare are awarded, one per semester. Three runner-up AIFS Diversity Scholarships of $2,000 each are also awarded each semester.
To be considered for the AIFS Diversity Scholarship, applicants must submit the scholarship application materials in addition to the AIFS study abroad application and the required application fee of $95 by April 15 for Academic Year/Fall Quarter/Fall Semester or October 1 for Spring Quarter/Spring Semester. Please see the application for more information.
Augsburg College Center for Global Education
The Center for Global Education strives to create for its students an intentionally diverse community of co-learners in which a variety of cultures and backgrounds is represented. Students, faculty, and staff help each other form responses to issues of oppression such as racism, sexism, homophobia, economic inequality, xenophobia, and classism in an environment where diversity expands the range of understanding. Towards this end, the Center offers scholarships for students who belong to historically disadvantaged groups. The following scholarships are available:
Scholarships for Students from Historically Underrepresented Groups
Heritage Scholarship Program
The Center for Cross-Cultural Study Scholarship Program is open to all students enrolled in CC-CS study abroad programs in Spain, Argentina, and Cuba.
Students may apply to one of the two scholarship options:
* CC-CS Merit-Based Scholarship
* CC-CS Diversity Scholarship
Since 2001, over $100,000 has been awarded to students enrolled in our programs. Students applying for the Scholarship Program may receive awards up to $2,500.
Robert B. Bailey Scholarship
The Robert B. Bailey Scholarship is intended to promote the participation in CIEE programs of individuals or members of groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students.
These awards are named in honor of Robert B. Bailey III, former member of CIEE’s Board of Directors and Professor of Sociology and Director of Study Abroad at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
HACU, the Hispanic Association of Colleges & Universities, has partnered with Global Learning Semesters in an effort to increase the number of Hispanic students engaged in study abroad. Over the next ten years, the goal of our far-reaching partnership, the Hispanic Global Alliance is to reduce this gap and help tens of thousands more Hispanic students study abroad.
The Hispanic Study Abroad Scholars Scholarship is one of the main components of our partnership
Global Learning Semesters has committed to making available at least $8 million in scholarship funds to HACU students over the next ten years.
Each HACU Institution that becomes a member of the Hispanic Global Alliance will be able to nominate at least one Hispanic Study Abroad Scholar each semester. The scholarships are for $1,000 and represent as much as 33% of host institution tuition. These scholarships can be combined with other forms of financial aid.
We believe these scholarships will improve the affordability of study abroad for HACU students – with the HSAS scholarships, some Global Learning Semesters programs are among the best-priced comprehensive study abroad programs in Europe.
IES Abroad is committed to fostering and supporting a diverse student body. Our Diversity Scholarships are one way to encourage and support students from a range of institutions and under-represented populations. Under-represented students include students from under-represented racial and ethnic groups, first generation to college students, students from low-income families and students with a history of overcoming adversity.
Diversity Scholarships include:
* IES Abroad Merit-Based Scholarship for Under-represented Students
* IES Abroad Merit-Based David Porter Diversity Scholarship (Up to $5,000!)
* IES Abroad Sydney-Macquarie University Diversity Scholarship
* HBCU Scholarships
Please note that you must be admitted to and attend an IES Abroad program to be considered for an IES Abroad Diversity Scholarship.
The awards from this scholarship will begin with the Fall 2008 semester and $10,000 is offered annually, to be used towards ISA programs. The ISA Diversity Scholarships aim to encourage students of a broader cultural make-up to participate in ISA programs by offering funds to assist with the expenses of studying abroad.
Diversity Abroad Scholarships: Awarded in partnership with DiversityAbroad.com, the Semester at Sea/Diversity Abroad Scholarships are available for summer and fall voyages only. Scholarships are valued at 50% off the cost of the least expensive cabin category available at the time of confirmation. Up to five scholarships will be awarded for the fall voyage. Up to ten scholarships will be awarded for the summer voyage. Applicants must submit an application (available soon for download here), the federal student aid report, personal and parent 1040 tax returns, and a nomination/recommendation by a professor, advisor, or other campus official who can speak to the applicant's commitment to international awareness/action. Deadline to submit all application materials to Semester at Sea is a minimum of six weeks prior to embarkation, though much sooner if possible in order to guarantee availability of preferred cabin category. Applicants may apply for other ISE scholarships; however if the applicant is selected for the Semester at Sea/Diversity Abroad scholarship, it replaces and supersedes all other financial aid that may have already been awarded by Semester at Sea. See this page for more information.
