Don't miss out on study abroad because of financial constraints. Students who are studying abroad have a world of scholarship opportunities available just for them. This year is particularly exciting as the Education Abroad Center is increasing funds available to $80,000 in Summer Abroad Travel Awards and $40,000 in Quarter Abroad Travel Awards. In addition, UCEAP is able to provide over $1 million in scholarship money for the 2013-2014 year.
