Fund for Education Abroad (FEA)
The FEA is committed to increasing the opportunities for dedicated American students to participate in high-quality, rigorous education abroad programs by reducing financial restrictions through the provision of grants and scholarships. Applicants must be committed to supporting education abroad in their campus communities through work with the FEA and their campus’ education abroad staff upon return. FEA strongly encourages students to apply who represent a group that is traditionally underrepresented in education abroad, including those studying in a non-traditional destination and those demonstrating financial need.

The Global Studies Grant for Student Travel and Study Abroad
Designed to support foreign language training and academic studies abroad, this grant provides supplemental funds for American students who already are studying abroad under the auspices of an official study abroad program conducted by an accredited academic institution. GSF is particularly interested in funding the study of strategically significant countries and languages. Selection criteria include academic performance, program merit, and outreach potential. Grant recipients will be expected to acknowledge GSF's support, to report on their experiences, and to work with GSF to share those experiences upon return.
