Funding, Scholarships, and Research Opportunities

Be Proactive in Applying for Scholarships

Start researching possible scholarships early-at least one term to two years prior to when you plan to go abroad. Most scholarship deadlines are well before the actual program application deadline, sometimes a year or more prior to the actual award year.
