GEO is driven to create accessible programming for our students, and we are excited to share that GEO is offering multiple $3000-$5000 scholarships for select Spring Quarter and Spring Semester 2020 programs in Angers, London, Oviedo, Siena and Segovia! These scholarships are in addition to the usual $1000 GEO Ambassador scholarships, but to make everything easier, students can apply through one easy scholarship application and will be considered for both if eligible. Priority for these Center Scholarships is being given to students with demonstrated financial need. These scholarships are only available for this coming spring, so if you have a student interested in the following programs for Spring 2020, please encourage them to apply:
- Liberal Arts in London – Spring Semester 2020
- Liberal Arts in London with Internship – Spring Semester 2020
- Spanish Language & Culture in Segovia – Spring Semester 2020
- Spanish Immersion in Oviedo – Spring Semester 2020
- Service Learning in Spain and Morocco: Immigration, Nationalism, and Border Politics – Spring Semester 2020

In order to be eligible, students must have a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA, must be participating in one of the GEO Center programs listed above during Spring Semester 2020 or Spring Quarter 2020, and must demonstrate financial need (based on FAFSA). International students can complete the Financial Resources Form, which is available in the online application for this scholarship.

The Map Your Future scholarship, a $1000 scholarship for freshmen that stays with them for four years and is good for any GEO program, is accessed through a different application, so please remind your first years to apply for this great opportunity as a way to start saving early for their international experience by December 15th!
