Scholarships, fellowships, and grants for American students going abroad, each verified against the funder's site for the current application cycle.
Most funded students draw from three or four sources: university aid, one national award, and one smaller grant. Apply broadly, beginning with your own campus.
Major fellowships close 10 to 12 months before departure. Choose two primary targets, draft one strong personal statement, and adapt it for the rest.
If a deadline has moved, a funder has closed, or a scholarship is missing, email directory@ariventuresabroad.co. We review every listing quarterly.
Start with six we recommend, then browse the full directory to filter by destination, level, amount, and deadline. Each entry links to the funder's official application.
No scholarships match the current filters.
This directory is intentionally selective. We list funders we know, can vouch for, and can keep current. If a major funder is missing, write to us.
Most are noise, and some are paid placement disguised as recommendations. We would rather publish a short list we've verified than 1,200 entries we haven't.
Reputable scholarships do not charge application fees. We won't list any that do.
If a program hasn't run a cycle in 18 months, we remove it. A shorter list is better than a stale one.
