This scholarship is made available to students who are unable to obtain sufficient aid to participate on study abroad program. This might result from certain types (institutional aid, state aid or work-study) of financial aid being ineligible for use on a study abroad program.

• AmeriSpan Affiliate Scholarship - If your school is an AmeriSpan Affiliate, we offer a variety of $250 to $500 scholarships.
