FEA Info:

The mission of the Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) is to provide scholarships and ongoing support to students 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 to apply for an FEA scholarship, preference is given to students of color, first-generation college students, community college students, and students with high financial need.
