University of California Education Abroad Program

Education abroad is an investment in your academic, professional, and personal future, and UCEAP wants to help you afford this tremendous opportunity. We offer dozens of scholarships — over $1.2 million for 2013-14 — for students of all backgrounds and majors, and for all kinds of study abroad programs.

Through the UCEAP Scholarship Initiative we will award the following scholarships per departure term:

Summer 2013 programs will offer 50 awards, Fall 2013 semester or year will offer 220 awards, and Spring 2014 semester or year will offer 110 awards.

Applications for Summer, Fall, and Academic Year (Northern Hemisphere) are now closed. We received over 1,700 completed applications! Thank you for the great response and interest in our scholarships. We will contact all applicants regarding the outcome of their applications by May 2013.

Eligibility

UCEAP scholarships from the $1 Million Initiative for 2013-14 are open to all UCEAP students. The award selections will be primarily based on academic merit and integration of a selected UCEAP program into a student’s academic and career goals, as demonstrated in a personal statement.  Students with financial need or who are traditionally under-represented in UCEAP programs should include the impact these elements have had on their decision to study abroad. Under-represented students include those who have transferred to UC from a California community college or state university, veterans, first-generation college students, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) majors.
