Our Scholarships
Financial status should not dictate access to opportunity
Our scholarship awards are directed first and foremost at applicants who, due to financial limitation, would find participation in an international teaching experience unattainable. Additionally, each award has a specific focus with an intent of increasing diversity in our program. Applicants are encouraged to apply for multiple awards if they match the award criteria, though there is a limit of one award per applicant. Click the link below to apply!
