College of Engineering/SEC Global Engineering Access Scholarship

This scholarship is designed to defray students’ costs for international learning experiences. Eligible costs may also include (but are not limited to) program fees associated with faculty-led programs, third-party provider costs, costs of flights, or other travel expenses associated with a study/research/service abroad experience. The committee considers not only financial need (both FAFSA-demonstrated and need that might be missed by the FAFSA), but also the quality of motivation and the educational fit of the proposed activity. Additionally, our office promotes diversity across applications of participation in global experiences.

THE APPLICATION CYCLE WILL BE OPEN IN EARLY FALL 2024 SEMESTER.

Engineering students applying for a passport and traveling internationally for the first time can apply for this scholarship.  The scholarship of up to $160 covers passport applications and processing fees.  Awards will be made to eligible applicants on a first-come, first-served basis while our funds allow.

The First-Time Traveler award will open again in Fall 2024
