Specific study abroad experiences have previously been funded by generous donors, and programs like the London Semester Abroad can be supported by a student’s general tuition scholarships and financial aid. Students needing additional funding may also apply for Paideia scholarships, as well as scholarships offered through the Office of Intercultural Learning (contact).
