EF Study Abroad scholarships
Every student should have the opportunity to study abroad, and it's our mission to create as many global experience opportunities as possible. We award more than $20,000 worth of scholarships each year to students on our programs based on academic performance and community involvement, financial need, and inclusion in traditionally underrepresented communities in study abroad.
Annually, 24 scholarships are awarded ranging from $500 to $2000 each.
Additionally, we give out Early Enrollment Scholarships to students who enroll in select windows prior to departure—reach out to your program's Group Leader to see if there is one available for you.
