Study Abroad Funding Opportunities

Students are encouraged to apply for Boren scholarships funded the National Security Education Program, which have various program-specific deadlines. For deadline information for Upenn students, please contact Penn Abroad Director, Dr. Barbara Gorka.

Students may also consider applying for the Critical Language Scholarship funded by US Department of State and Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs as well as the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship.

It is also a good idea to check Upenn's most recent listings for funding opportunities at Upenn Abroad, click Financing Study Abroad.

In addition, most summer programs provide financial aid. Students are advised to check with individual programs about funding opportunities.

To support students going on a study abroad, the Slavic Department awards small-size scholarships to outstanding undergraduates through a competitive merit-based process. For more information please contact Dr. Maria Alley.
