January Term Travel Scholarship

The January Term Travel Scholarship is an award of 75% of the course fee of a travel course of the applicant's choice. 

• During a normal year, students can apply for this scholarship online beginning in August.
• A scholarship winner is unfortunately not guaranteed a spot in a course and must register through the same process and timeline as all other students.

In awarding scholarships, the January Term Program Committee considers:

• Preference is given to seniors before juniors, etc. (status is based upon the number of completed units at the time of applying)
• Eligibility for financial aid (FAFSA submitted)
• Greatest need
• Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA
• No previous experience studying abroad with January Term or Study Abroad
• Students who have previously received the January Term Travel Scholarship will not be considered for a subsequent scholarship.

Other important info:

• Scholarship applications must be submitted by stated deadline, no exceptions.
• At the time of application, students indicate their desired course. Students receive 75% of that course fee. If they register for a less expensive course, they receive 75% of that course fee. If they register for a more expensive course, they receive only 75% of the original course fee.
• Scholarship award winners place a standardized deposit of $500.
• Scholarship recipients must participate in a Jan Term travel course in order to receive the scholarship.
• Refunds will not be provided to Jan Term Travel Scholarship recipients for travel deviations.
