Travel Scholarships & Financial Resources

If you are planning to pursue a work experience abroad, especially in a formal internship program, you are often qualified to apply for funding that directly supports these types of learning opportunities. Most of the scholarships for interning abroad are footed by individual organizations and agencies themselves—so while things like your age, your demographics, or your merits might not help or hurt your scholarship chances, your need to be enrolled in one of their programs certainly will.

Truthfully, the trend of interning abroad isn't as popular as merely going to college or studying abroad (but it definitely should be), so there's not a wide variety of scholarships offered specifically for interns. Many internship scholarships will look at the experience from a scholastic angle, so they are only available to current students. This isn't always the case, though; read specifications carefully.

There are some intern abroad scholarships where individuals might uniquely qualify as potential winners. If you specialize in a hyper-niche area of study or are pursuing research internships abroad, there might be additional funding available uniquely for you. Further, if you have particular skills or fall under demographic minority classifications, now is the time to shine.
