Scholarships
We’re proud to offer two dedicated scholarships for Scholars to study or conduct research abroad. In addition to these two scholarships, Study Abroad & Global Engagement provides over $200,000 in funding each year. Over 90% of Global Scholars with financial need who applied for a study abroad scholarship received support over the last three cohorts.
Mackenzie Aden Scholarship for Global Scholars
One non-renewable award of $1,000 will be given to a KU student who is an active member of the Global Scholars program and who will be studying, interning, or conducting research abroad for the summer, semester, or academic year.
Application Procedures
All applicants will be required to submit the following documents online:
- Personal Statement
- Resume
- Unofficial Transcript or Advising Report
Global Scholars Research Abroad Scholarship
Global Scholars may apply for a non-renewable award of $1,000 to conduct research abroad. The primary focus of this international fieldwork should be to develop their Global Scholars research project.
Scholars who are working on their Global Scholars project domestically may apply for a non-renewable award of $250.
Applications are due March 1. Scholars can only apply for both awards if they have plans to conduct research abroad and in the U. S., but the selection committee will only issue one award per student to successful applicants.
Application Procedures
All applicants will be required to submit the following documents online:
- Global Scholars research proposal
- Resume
- Unofficial Transcript or Advising Report
Additionally, Study Abroad has scholarships that align well with Global Scholars.
- Felix Moos Fund for Field Studies Abroad
- Freeman East Asia Internship Award (can be used for a research placement in a lab)
- Allan W. Wicker Scholarship for SIT Study Abroad
“Even with a scholarship from my host university, I would have had a difficult time studying abroad without the financial support of Global Scholars. It is important for me to support students in the same position and encourage them to partake in the very interesting array of seminars and opportunities.”
