Education abroad experiences are critical to gaining an international perspective that will set you apart in your career and help you reach your goals.
One of the perceived barriers to studying abroad is the cost of the program. At UT Austin, we work with students to maximize funding opportunities. Scholarship awards can range from $500 to $4,000, and students are most successful when applying to multiple scholarships. Many scholarships don’t require references. Start scholarship planning one year in advance, if possible. Many scholarship deadlines are the same as the program application deadline – not after. The time you invest is money in your pocket.
An interactive scholarship database students should use for researching and applying for UT Austin scholarships that support global education activities. The majority of UT Austin scholarships for international education are incorporated into this online system.
There are numerous scholarships available outside of Global Assist, organized by the following categories:
