The Study Abroad Scholarship

The Study Abroad Scholarship provides financial support to students participating in Augusta University faculty-led study abroad programs. This is a need-based scholarship, and due to limited funds, only 10 recipients will be selected. The Study Abroad Scholarship is not part of federal or state financial aid programs. It is not a cash award. Funds are applied directly toward approved study abroad program costs. If a student withdraws from the program for any reason, the scholarship is forfeited and may not be transferred, deferred, or redeemed for cash.
