Opportunities Abroad for Graduating Seniors & Alumni

International experiences are still available to you, even after your time at 老虎机攻略 has concluded. The programs listed here are specifically for applicants who have graduated, or who will be graduating by the time the program begins (e.g., graduating seniors).

Some private foundations or universities run their own international programs. When searching out private programs, be careful to note if they require nomination from certain universities or membership to certain organizations.

All of the programs listed here have open applications, meaning enrollment in a particular university or organization are not requirements.

These programs are either fully-funded, or provide very generous funding. They also tend to be intensely competitive. Graduating college seniors and recently graduated students are welcome to apply.

As with all external competitive scholarships, students and alumni are highly encouraged to reach out to the Office of External Scholarships & Fellowships for assistance with the application and writing essays.
