EDUCATION ABROAD

There are an abundance of scholarships for students studying abroad. With time and hard work most students are able to find some sort of financial assistance to help with their study abroad experience. The Office of Education Abroad & International Partnerships publishes the Student Guide to International Education Scholarships which provides a wealth of information on BGSU scholarships, and national scholarships, as well as useful websites when researching financial assistance for study abroad.
