Scholarships
Applications can be found below and must be completed and returned to the Clark Center for International Education by March 15 for Fall and Summer study abroad programs and October 15 for Spring study abroad programs.
1. Step One: If you are a financial aid recipient, you should schedule a meeting with SUNY Cortland's Financial Aid Office to discuss the transfer of your loans and grants to help cover the costs of your study abroad program.
2. Step Two: Discuss your budget with your parents (or legal guardians) to determine how much savings you can apply toward the cost of study abroad.
3. Step Three: After determing the amount of financial aid and personal savings you can contribute toward the cost of study abroad, consider applying for scholarships to help offset the overall expense. However, do NOT assume that you will get a scholarship! You must be able to afford the cost of study abroad through savings, financial aid, and/or private loans because we cannot guarantee that you will receive a scholarship nor can we predict the size of the scholarship you may be awarded.
If you receive a scholarship, think of the scholarship as an added bonus that will enable you to take greater advantage of your time abroad after you have already prepared to pay for the full costs of studying abroad without the help of scholarships.
