The UW Study Abroad Scholarship at University of Washington 2025

There are many scholarships available to help fund your study abroad. We’re here to help break down your search into six navigable categories. We suggest searching and applying for scholarships a year ahead of your intended departure date. Even if you have not yet applied to a program, bookmarking scholarships will save you a lot of time later. Some scholarships, like the Gilman Scholarship available to Pell-eligible students, does not require you to be accepted to a program in order to apply.

You can utilize the Writing Center to help you write personal statements and scholarship applications.

If you have questions about your Financial Aid package, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). OSFA can advise you on your specific funding situation, while we can provide information on disbursement dates, fees, and other standardized information related to study abroad.

How To Apply

You will be automatically considered for a UW Study Abroad scholarship if you answer “yes” in the Scholarship Eligibility questionnaire in your study abroad application. We will notify you via UW email if you are selected for a Scholarship (see the awarding and notification schedule below). You must also apply for Financial Aid in order to be considered, no matter what your situation is. We use it to determine how much funding you can receive, so apply for aid every year.
