Scholarships & Grants to Study Abroad
Need-based Scholarships
Our need-based study abroad scholarships are based on students' Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) from their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and enrolled institution.
| NAME | QUALIFICATIONS | DESCRIPTION | AMOUNT (UP TO) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gilman Go Global Grant | Qualified Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship applicants | Deducted from semester program(s) fees** | $2,500 |
| GAIN Travel Grant | EFC up to 10,000 guaranteed; other EFCs considered post deadline | Travel costs to and from study abroad or internship program*** | $1,500 |
| Minority Serving Institution (MSI) Grant | Current attendee at an MSI. Award supports high-need students based on Student Aid Report (SAR) and availability of funds. | Deducted from program fees | $2,000 for semester |
For need-based grants, you will not need to complete the essay section under the Scholarships & Grants portion of your application, but will need the following items to be considered for all awards to which you are eligible:
- The Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) number from your most recent Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Student Aid Report (SAR)
- For the CIEE Gilman Go Global Grant, you must provide proof your Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship
Note: EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is being replaced by SAI (Student Aid Index) for the 2024-2025 FAFSA cycle. Due to unexpected FAFSA delays during the transition, CIEE will accept the 2023-2024 FAFSA (EFC) or the 2024-2025 FAFSA (SAI) for Fall 2024. For students who provide the 2023-2024 FAFSA (EFC), we will continue to guarantee GAIN Travel Grants to those with EFCs of 10,000 or less. For students who provide the 2024-2025 FAFSA (SAI), we will guarantee GAIN Travel Grants to Pell Eligible students. Applications must received by the April 1st deadline for the guarantee. Students with high need should still apply even if they do not meet the criteria noted above.
