Want more info on how to apply to the January Term Travel 2022 Scholarship?

Attend a webinar, co-sponsored by the January Term office and Financial Aid office, on one of the following dates for more info:

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 of the fall semester.
A scholarship winner is not guranteed a spot in a course and must register through the same process and timeline as all other students.

In awarding scholarships, the January Term 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 Scholarship will not be considered for the January Term Scholarship.
Scholarship award winners will also need to place a standardized deposit of $500.

Important Information for Award Recipients:

If you enrolled into a higher cost travel course - your scholarship will not be increased beyond the original awarded amount.
If you enrolled in a lower cost travel course - only 75% of that course fee will be covered by the January Term Scholarship and the remaining award amount is forfeited.
If you do not get into the course for which you applied, or into another international travel course, please contact the January Term Office at janterm@stmarys-ca.edu.
