FAFSA
Though this scholarship is not a need-based award, and it is not required, we recommend making sure that your FAFSA or any other financial aid paperwork is up to date when you apply. International students and those who are not able to fill out a FAFSA online should contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to complete a paper FAFSA form. We recommend initiating this process at least one month before the scholarship deadline.
Statement of Purpose
In 400 (minimum) - 500 (maximum) words, describe how your Learning Abroad Program aligns with your academic, professional, and personal goals. Students should specifically address how their travel experience in Asia will enhance these goals.
