Financial Aid

Many scholarship applications require that you demonstrate financial need; therefore, even if you have not received financial aid in the past you should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) immediately.

Discuss all financial aid planning with your campus financial aid and EAP advisors as early as possible.

Other Sources of Support

As well as applying for UCEAP scholarships, investigate the many other study abroad scholarships offered by public and private organizations, and check with your campus to find out if they offer additional funding.

UCEAP is proud to announce the recipients of the on-cycle Summer, Fall, and Academic Year 2012-13 Scholarships!
