Are there scholarships for US students studying internationally?

I'm a US high school junior interested in studying overseas, and I'm looking for scholarship opportunities to help with costs. Does anyone have recommendations for where to find international scholarships for American students?

Certainly, there are numerous scholarships available to U.S. students interested in studying internationally. Here are some options that are commonly used:

1. Federal financial aid: Many students aren't aware that they can apply their federal financial aid towards study abroad programs. You'll need to fill out the FAFSA, as you would for any college in the U.S., and your college will help you determine the portion of your aid package you can apply to your international studies.

2. Fulbright Program: The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers a number of grants for U.S. students to study or conduct research internationally in over 140 countries.

3. Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship: This scholarship is geared towards U.S. undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding to participate in study and intern programs abroad.

4. Rotary Foundation Global Grants: The Rotary Club offers grants for graduate-level coursework or research for one to four academic years.

5. Boren Awards: These scholarships and fellowships offer a unique opportunity for U.S. students to study in world regions that are critical to U.S. interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

I strongly recommend researching these scholarships and perhaps reaching out to your school's study abroad office. They often have resources or additional connections to local and regional scholarships. Best of luck in your pursuit of international study!
