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.
