Scholarships Aren’t Just for Straight-A Students

Good news—you don’t need a 4.0 GPA to score a study abroad scholarship. Tons of programs look at things like leadership, background, or field of study. Some are even country-specific. There’s money out there, but you have to know where to dig.

Government and University Programs Lead the Pack

Start with the big names: Fulbright, Erasmus+, DAAD (for Germany), or even your home university’s exchange office. These aren’t just scholarships—they often cover housing, travel, and tuition.
