Scholarships & Funding
Scholarships
Overview
USF has worked hard to raise money for Global Learning programs because we know the positive impact the opportunity brings to our ÅÝܽÊÓƵapps. However, this funding is limited and selection is highly competitive. Between 2018 - 2024, we were only able to award an average of about 15% of applicants each semester.
Why do additional funding planning?
Students need to plan ahead for their study abroad program to ensure they can fully embrace the experience without financial stress. While studying abroad offers unparalleled academic, cultural, and personal growth opportunities, it also comes with expenses such as travel, accommodation, souvenirs, excursions, and daily living costs. Adequate financial planning allows ÅÝܽÊÓƵapps to cover these costs and participate in enriching activities and excursions that enhance their overall experience.
Here are additional resources to plan for your experience:
- USF Office of National Scholars: We encourage ÅÝܽÊÓƵapps to make an appointment with ONS to learn more about national scholarships.
- Other Scholarship Databases:
- (for everyone not just ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp of Minnesota Students)
- ($1000 scholarship)
While none of these scholarships are intended to pay for an entire program, they are meant to aid our ÅÝܽÊÓƵapps in covering some of the costs associated with international study.
