Scholarships & Grants

This page includes a list of some places to look for funding for international academic opportunities. For further information be sure to consult one of the many scholarships and grants resource books in the library (ask a reference librarian to help you) or visit Dr. Monique Bourque in the Student Academic Grants and Awards Office located on the second floor of the UC.

The Office of Financial Aid, located on the third floor of the UC, may also have information about travel grants for use abroad. There are two scholarships available for students who file a FAFSA and who are determined to have financial need. The Bernice Jackson Hoffman Scholarship and the Richard and Elizabeth Yocom Scholarship. Contact Financial Aid for information on applying for these scholarships. Other good places to look for information on scholarships and grants are at the embassies and consulates of specific countries, services organizations, and on web search engines.
