Looking for help on financing your study abroad program? Below you will find several unique scholarship opportunities available to CEA Global Education students. These scholarships are open to all CEA program participants who meet the eligibility requirements in order to aid you in subsidizing the cost of your study abroad program.
Multiple scholarships in each category will be awarded:
- Academic Merit Scholarship
- Financial Need Scholarship
- Global Education Scholarship
Academic Affiliate Scholarships
As an added level of support to U.S. universities, CEA offers scholarships specially designated for our Academic Affiliates. Students who attend an Academic Affiliate school and apply for the Semester/Trimester/Academic Year Scholarships also will be considered for the Affiliate Scholarships of the same categories. Students only may be awarded one scholarship per term, but receive the larger of two scholarships if they qualify for more than one.
Eligibility Criteria
Students may only apply to one Semester/Trimester/Academic Year Scholarship, but may also apply to the Financial Need Scholarship if they wish (only one scholarship will be awarded per student, per term). The total number of scholarships awarded each term will depend on the quality and quantity of applications. To receive full consideration, the following must be submitted:
- An original 400-500 word essay
Candidates must properly cite the source for any quote or paraphrase used in their essay. Essays with any evidence of plagiarism will cause the candidate to be disqualified from receiving a scholarship. Candidates will be evaluated on their letter of recommendation, and the overall creativity, quality and structure of their essay.
