Tips for Applying for Scholarships

What Experience is Right for Me?

Before researching programs, think about your goals and rank what is most important to you. Here are some possible considerations to help you find the best experience.

Academic Program | Look for courses that align with your interests and requirements.

Location | Consider factors such as distance from home, climate, language, and cultural experiences.

Duration | Determine how long you would be comfortable staying.

Cost and Financial Aid | Evaluate all costs and how you will cover them.

Personal Interests | Go somewhere that inspires you.

Research Opportunities | Do you want a strictly academic or more hands-on field-based experience?


Seek advice. Classmates, professors, advisors, parents, guardians, and coaches can all offer valuable insight.  When you’re ready, schedule time to discuss your options with us.
