Scholarships

Study abroad does not have to be out of your reach financially. In fact, if you already receive financial aid most students are able to use part, if not all, of their financial aid for study abroad. Often, a "Contractual Agreement" or "Consortium Agreement" Form is completed by the college and Spanish Studies Abroad for purposes of applying financial aid to your study abroad program. You may contact us at info@spanishstudies.org for further information and instructions regarding the transfer of financial aid. Your advisor or your financial aid officer can also assist you with this process. This must be done in advance of payment due dates.

Below you will find information about Spanish Studies Abroad scholarship opportunities available only to students studying on one of our programs. This does not include Custom Programs or Faculty-led Programs. For information on other sources of funding and financial matters, follow these links for more information regarding grants, payment plans, financial aid deferment, and outside scholarships

*Please note: Spanish Studies Abroad Scholarships cannot be applied to program costs, including tuition.  Scholarships are meant to offset extra expenses while abroad, such as flights, gifts, entertainment, etc.
