2022 Study Abroad Scholarship Opportunities
Students may want to consider these scholarship opportunities to help fund one of the above study abroad opportunities.
2022 Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship Deadline: Feb. 14, 2022
The application for the 2022 is now open. Visit the Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship page for eligibility and the application. Frederick Douglass Global Fellows will explore conflict and injustice from various perspectives and the leaders who sought to affect positive change for their communities and countries. Fellows will return to America with new perspectives on how effective leaders influence positive social change and inspired to be the catalyst for positive change in their communities and in our world.
This fully funded summer study abroad program is focused on leadership, activism, and cross-cultural understanding. Fellows for this prestigious award will be selected based on their academic achievement, communication skills, commitment to social justice, and demonstrated service to others.
This year’s cohort is co-sponsored by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs to commemorate Douglass’s four-month journey to Ireland in 1845. The Fellows will be based in Dublin and travel to other cities where Douglass campaigned. Check out this video for highlights from the 2021 program.
To apply: We invite applications from first-, second- or third-year students with a minimum GPA of 3.0 from ethnic backgrounds typically underrepresented on study abroad programs.
If a student chooses to apply to a CIEE-administered independent Study Abroad, all eligible students who submit a qualified CIEE application automatically earn a $1,500 scholarship toward any CIEE summer 2022, fall 2022 or spring 2023 program.
