Are there financial resources other than Federal and State Aid that can be used to finance study abroad?
A. There are many scholarships available for studying abroad offered by a variety of organizations: government (both US and foreign), civic organizations (Rotary Club) and sometimes private companies. The Study Abroad Office has information and books about the different kinds of scholarships and their eligibility requirements. Other types of scholarships include: the Fulbright Scholarship, which is offered to students wishing to pursue a specific field of study in a certain country; the Monbusho Scholarship, which is provided by the Japanese government to undergraduate and graduate students who will be studying in Japan for a year; and other travel grants. Information is also available at UB’s libraries and through various Internet sites.
