Was it worthwhile? It is still my life. I am still here. I have learned how important it is to be open-minded in this life. I have learned who I am and what it is I want out of this life.

Absolutely. I regret nothing in my experience. I gained the independence I was searching for. A student - Wheelock College View Entire Review
Most definitely worth while, I got to experience so much.

yes, opened up my eyes to new things and got me out of my shell. Shannon P - Keene State College View Entire Review
I now feel like if I was dropped into any country I could survive. I learned to budget my money and plan my own trips.

I learned to relax and loosen up/not be so up-tight about things. What happens, happens; no worries. Overall, I think my experience was well worthwhile. A student - Wheelock College View Entire Review
My experience in Newcastle was more than worthwhile. I have learned to appreciate the small things in life and not to stress out over everything. I have definitely adopted the Australian "no worries mate" attitude. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. I definitely hope to come back some day and am motivated to see more of...

CISabroad / Center for International Studies Scholarships
This award is intended for students within the LGBTQIA+ community, as part of CIS Abroad’s commitment to Generation Study Abroad. Studying abroad as an LGBTQIA+ or gender nonconforming student brings an additional set of challenges and options to consider. There are some questions you may want to ask yourself, and research to be done, before choosing a study abroad program – but our LGBTQIA+ students have amazing experiences abroad and often find local LGBTQIA+ communities to be a part of. Recipients will select from a variety of mediums to share their story while abroad, in addition to submitting a photo testimonial.
Up to $500
This award is intended for students in a Greek Life organization who need help covering the cost of membership dues while abroad. In keeping with the philanthropic values of Greek Life organizations, recipients should plan to participate in at least one self-directed volunteer opportunity while abroad and produce content (ex. a blog post or video) related to that experience, in addition to other selections.
Up to $500
We understand first-generation students face additional barriers to studying and interning abroad. In fact, many staff members at CIS Abroad are also first-generation college students. This scholarship is intended to help fund the visa process, flights, and international housing for students who are among the first from their family to go to college. Recipients will share their story of learning and exploration while abroad with a photo gallery and their choice of travel vlog, blogging, or an Instagram takeover.
Up to $500
This award is intended for students who demonstrate excellence in their academic major. While abroad, recipients will use a variety of channels (video, blogging, photos) to share how studying/interning abroad is enriching their academic or professional career, in addition to submitting a photo testimonial.
$250
This award is intended to benefit students of color, who are traditionally underrepresented within education abroad.
