Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship (U.S. State Department)

Gilman McCain Scholarship

This provides funding for study abroad for child and spousal dependents of active or activated United States military personnel during the time of application. This will open in mid-August and is usually due the first week of October.

Fund for Education Abroad

The application for summer trips is set to launch in November and will be due in early February. The FEA has a webinar, writing tips for the application, and an explanation of how to fill out the financial aid form.

Umoja International Student Fellowship Program

The fellowship program strives to build a global consciousness by exposing Umoja students to the African diaspora and helping them become aware of their place in that experience. While this trip does not go to Africa, it spends time on literature and art created by people from the African diaspora and examines how Spanish identity has been created in dialogue with North Africa in particular.

To be eligible for the fellowship, one must be in the Umoja program (tell a friend?) and complete the Umoja Sankofa Service Project:  

  • Complete a post-study abroad survey 
  • Record 10 videos abroad of yourself and your experience. 
  • Complete a presentation at an approved venue

Applications are usually due in January.

AIFS Scholarships and Grants

Deadlines and eligibility varies.
