Student Voyage Scholarship Opportunities

At Student Voyage it has been our great joy to watch the tremendous academic and personal growth in students who have chosen to experience life abroad.  We would like to make this opportunity available to as many students as possible and we are happy to extend two scholarships of up to $2,000 each year to globally-minded students.

Consideration for the scholarships is based equally on the student's scholastic achievements as well as his or her financial need. More detailed information on how to apply for the scholarships is outlined below.

In order to apply for a Student Voyage Scholarship, students must meet the following criteria:
