Travel Scholarships & Financial Resources

Created by a USAC alum, this scholarship is to allow more students to experience firsthand the challenges and growth of studying abroad in a non-traditional region that is often unfamiliar to and misunderstood by those in the United States. Degree-seeking students with a minimum 3.0 GPA attending the USAC Haifa, Israel program are eligible for this scholarship, which will be awarded each summer, fall, and spring semester. Preference will be given to students with little to no previous background and exposure to the Middle East.

USAC offers more than 50 affordable programs in 28 countries worldwide. In addition, USAC awards over $2 million in scholarships and discounts to assist students with their study abroad expenses. Scholarship awards typically range from $500-$2,500. USAC has a dedicated Scholarship Team who works closely with students throughout the scholarship application process and helps them to identify and apply for external scholarships as well.

The National Security Education Program (NSEP) David L. Boren Undergraduate Scholarships offer a unique opportunity for U.S. students to study abroad. NSEP awards scholarships to American students for study of world regions critical to U.S. interests (including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America & the Caribbean, and the Middle East).

This scholarship is available to deserving students who identify as LGBTQ+ attending a study abroad program of any length. All U.S. citizens or permanent residents currently enrolled as an undergraduate at a U.S. institution of higher education are eligible to apply.
