Scholarships and Funding

Many scholarships are available to Broward College students who want to study abroad. When applying for scholarships, students are encouraged to carefully review the eligibility requirements and the application procedures, and make an appointment to meet with study abroad staff if applying for any scholarships outside of Broward College.

Deadlines for application submission range from two (2) months to one (1) year before the study abroad program begins, so students are encouraged to plan.

The McCormick Scholarship can be applied to Broward College Faculty-led programs or a BC-CCIS Sponsored summer program.

Upon receipt of applications, recommendations, and biographies, a committee reviews each applicant with the process of eliminating those who do not qualify according to the criterion outlined above. Interviews will then be scheduled for the remaining applicants. Each student is required to sign a "consent form" and a "waiver of responsibility." All selected applicants will receive up to $1,000.

When the students return from abroad, they provide board members with a report of their trip, what they have learned, both culturally and educationally, and photographs or a video of highlights of their trip
