Scholarships

The Study Abroad Peer Advisors (SAPA) are excited to offer scholarships ranging from $500 to $1000 for students studying abroad who demonstrate a need for financial assistance! We are looking to award students who show a passion for study abroad, a drive for personal growth and a genuine interest in immersing themselves within their host country's culture and community. This scholarship is funded and reviewed by the Study Abroad Peer Advisor organization under the UF International Center.
