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.
