Fund For Education Abroad Scholarship Summer/Fall 2025, AY 2025-2026

The mission of the Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) is to provide scholarships and ongoing support to students with financial need who are underrepresented among the U.S. study abroad population.

FEA awards up to $5,000 for a fall or spring semester abroad, with a minimum of $1,000 for short-term programs. 

While we encourage all students with financial need to apply for an FEA scholarship, preference is given to students of color, first-generation college students, and community college students.

Applications for the Spring 2025 application cycle are due February 5, 2025 at 12pm (noon) Eastern Standard Time. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

To be eligible for an FEA scholarship, you must:

• Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or DACA recipient

• Be currently enrolled as an undergraduate at U.S. institution of higher education (graduate students are not eligible)

• Receive credit at your home institution for the study abroad program

• Have demonstrated financial need (see below)

FEA determines financial need based on information from the most recent FAFSA. You are eligible for an FEA scholarship with regard to financial need if any of the following apply:

• Your Student Aid Index (SAI) is below 20000

• You are eligible for a Pell Grant

• You have taken out any amount of loans for the current academic year

FEA was created for students who demonstrate financial need, with preference given to:

• Students of color

• First-generation college students

• Community college students

  
  

FEA also has scholarships specific to certain demographic groups and study abroad destinations. We determine your eligibility for each scholarship on the back-end—you just need to complete the one online application and let us take it from there!
