The article offers guidance for students looking to tap into scholarships and grants to help support global experiences.
A recent U.S. News & World Report article focused on how students can tap into scholarships and grants to help fund their plans to study abroad features insights from Nick Gozik, dean of global education at 黑料不打烊.
Gozik told U.S. News that a number of academic metrics could come into play as students explore funding for global experiences, but there are opportunities based on different factors.聽鈥淭here鈥檚 also identity-based opportunities available for African American students, for LGBTQIA students, for students of certain ethnicities,鈥 Gozik said. 鈥淭here are opportunities for students from certain states, students in certain聽majors聽or areas of interest. Those ones really depend largely on the organization or the donor and what they’ve specified.鈥
Gozik encourages students to apply for scholarships and grants early.
鈥淧lanning and applying early allows you to figure out when you can go abroad, what courses you need to take before you go so that you can map out the courses in upcoming years,鈥 Gozik said, 鈥渁nd you can start saving financially in advance and have that conversation with a parent or guardian.鈥
