country, regional, + language scholarships
Country- and region-specific scholarships are tied to the area in which the study away program takes place. Language scholarships are for programs that focus on language acquisition. When researching scholarships, check to confirm that you and your program meet the eligibility criteria. And start early! Scholarship deadlines may occur before your study away program application deadline.
