The Tortuga Backpacks Study Abroad Scholarship is awarded biannually to passionate students who want to explore the world.
At Tortuga Backpacks, our mission is to help people take amazing trips, including students studying abroad. When customers purchase luggage from us for their trips, they are “paying it forward” by funding scholarships for students like you.
