Scholarships for high school students interested in international relations?

I'm passionate about international relations and looking into scholarships that might support me in pursuing this interest while in high school. Are there any specific scholarships for high school students interested in international relations?

There are indeed a variety of scholarships available for high school students interested in international relations.

1. The AFS-USA scholarships program is a great place to start for students interested in international relations. Some require an applicant to participate in specific study abroad programs, but if this is something you're interested in, it can be a fantastic opportunity.

2. If you've demonstrated leadership or excellence in community service, the Global Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship from the George Washington University might be a good fit. It's specifically for high school seniors with a strong interest in international relations.

3. Another one to consider is the Lincoln Forum Scholarship Essay Contest, where you can write an essay on a topic tied to American history or government and potentially earn several hundred, up to a few thousand dollars.

4. If you are a high school junior or senior and are committed to public service, there's also the United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP), which awards scholarships to two student leaders from each state. It includes a week in Washington, DC, meeting various officials and learning about the federal government.

5. League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) grants multiple scholarships, some of which cater specifically to Hispanic students interested in diplomacy and international relations.

These are just a few examples—when looking for scholarships, remember to check your potential colleges and see if they have any specific scholarships for prospective International Relations students. You should also reach out to local community organizations, since many offer scholarships for local students with specific academic interests. Keep in mind that the sooner you start your scholarship search, the better your chances are of securing funds for your future studies.
