Study Abroad Scholarship Application

Financial Aid for study abroad is sometimes available through individual academic departments at Wichita State. The Office of International Education administers all other study abroad scholarships which are made possible through the funding sources listed on our website. All of the scholarships administered through the Office of International Education require the same application, and applicants do not need to designate a particular scholarship in their application. Applicants will automatically be considered for any funds in which they meet the eligibility requirements (please see eligibility requirements on our website). Applicants must agree to the conditions listed on the Scholarship Acceptance Form to receive a scholarship.

Specific conditions on the Scholarship Acceptance Form can be found on our website. Study Abroad Scholarship website: www.wichita.edu/studyabroadscholarships.
