Scholarship and Grant Resources for Study Abroad

UNH students interested in study abroad opportunities should contact the Center for International Education (CIE) at Hood House. CIE provides comprehensive assistance related to study abroad including advising, direct scholarship support, scholarship information from resources outside UNH and application assistance. In addition, UNH provides funding for summer undergraduate research outside the US through the International Research Opportunity Program (IROP) and Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program.

Other resources for study abroad funding from outside of UNH include:

• The International Study and Travel Center -- a searchable study abroad scholarship database organized by award type (scholarship, internship, fellowship, etc.), location and field of study; includes financial aid information for international students studying in the US.

• Studyabroad.com -- provides information and links to many study abroad scholarships and practical information for living abroad

• The Council for International Educational Exchange (CIEE) -- sponsors several study abroad scholarship programs; provides information about living and studying abroad.

• The Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) has a listing of undergraduate and graduate study abroad scholarships, including a useful scholarship link for multicultural students who wish to study abroad.

• Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship -- awards up to $5000 to students with limited financial means for study abroad with $3000 additional funding for critical need language areas. To be eligible, students must be receiving a federal Pell Grant at time of application or during the term of study abroad. Will pilot a special Summer 2010 award cycle for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) field disciplines. Next deadline for this competition is April 6, 2009.
