Study Abroad Scholarships
Making SST More Affordable
At Goshen College we understand that studying abroad can create a financial barrier for students. This page offers outside scholarships available to students who are interested in studying abroad through SST. If you have any questions please contact us.
Outside Study Abroad Scholarships
This scholarship is for federal Pell grant recipients only. It supports students of limited financial means to study abroad, as well as students that have been traditionally underrepresented in study abroad, such as students of diverse ethnic backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students who identify as LGBT. Scholarships of up to $5,000 are available. Applicants studying a “critical need” language can apply for a supplemental Critical Need Language Award of up to $3,000 (Mandarin, Swahili, and Bahasa are currently on this list).
DUE date: This scholarship runs in 2 cycles: one due in October, and the other due in March. The next deadline is March 1, 2022.
