Volunteer abroad scholarships for college students?

I really want to volunteer abroad during college, but I'm worried about the costs. Are there any scholarships specifically for students looking to volunteer overseas?

a year ago

Absolutely, there are a variety of scholarships available that cater specifically to college students looking to volunteer abroad. Here are a few examples:

1. Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship: This scholarship program provides awards for U.S. undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding to participate in study and intern abroad programs worldwide.

2. Verto Education's Scholarships: Verto Education offers a wide range of scholarships for students interested in their semester abroad programs, many of which involve volunteering.

3. Go Overseas Volunteer/Intern Abroad Scholarship: This awards various amounts to students or recent graduates who plan on volunteering or interning abroad.

4. Davis Putter Scholarship Fund: Although not exclusively for overseas volunteering, this fund provides grants to students actively working for peace and justice on campus and in the community at large. If your volunteering aligns with these causes, it could be a good choice.

Remember that each scholarship has its own specific requirements, deadlines, and application procedures, so make sure to thoroughly research each one to ensure you're eligible and that your application is submitted correctly. It's also essential to start searching and applying well in advance of your planned volunteer abroad experience. Good luck!
