Scholarships

Eckerd Scholarships

Eckerd College Study Abroad Scholarships are available to students due to the generous donors who value study abroad experiences. These awards are intended to aid students who otherwise would not be able to engage in the study away experience. These are partial scholarships that are intended to cover a portion of the study abroad program fees. Scholarship amounts are based on financial need, and are not guaranteed. Scholarship awards may cover a percentage of the overall program. It is important that students plan additional sources of income to pay for the entirety of their study abroad fee.

Scholarship Application Deadline

Scholarship deadline is the same as the program deadline. The Office of Global Education will notify students of the status of their application before they have to commit or pay the program deposit.

How the Scholarship is Applied:

• Study abroad scholarships are awarded AFTER a student is accepted on a program.
• Study abroad scholarships will be applied to the final bill for the program term thereby reducing the balance owed to Eckerd.
• The scholarship will be listed on your account under the name of the donor. You will not see "Study Abroad Scholarship" you would see something similar to "Eastman Family Scholarship"
• Please note:  study abroad scholarships cannot be used to cover the initial $500 program deposit and the deposit is non-refundable. Students should plan accordingly.
• If students withdraw from the program, the scholarship will also be removed. Students can NOT retain the scholarship to apply to a later program.

Eligible Study Abroad Programs:

Eckerd students who intend to participate in a Eckerd sponsored faculty-led program (Semester-Center, Winter Term, Spring into Summer) or in a Eckerd exchange program (semester, year-long) are eligible to apply. Limited funds are also available to students participating in Affiliate programs.
