Study Abroad Grants

Study abroad travel education grants are money awards that allow students to visit another country and learn about their language and culture. For students pursuing this experience there are two notable federal government grants available: the National Security Education Program (NESP) and the Fulbright Program.
NSEP targets undergraduate and graduate university students subsidizing the cost of going abroad to a critical country to study its language and culture. For a list of countries listed as critical, you should visit the official government grants website at grants.gov. There are five different travel grants available through this program, all with varying criteria.

The Fulbright Program is a federally funded exchange program for students studying outside of the US. Participants are chosen based on academics and leadership skills, and are awarded a grant base on their unique program costs.

Then there are also a number of private corporations, organizations and foundations that award travel education grants for students to study abroad. For example, the Coca-Cola Foundation, Amoco, Chrysler Corporation, etc., have given funds for overseas study.
