UW Study Abroad is excited to announce new scholarships for STEM majors studying abroad in the 2016-17 academic year.
The first scholarship, GO! STEMXchange, offers up
to $5000 to STEM majors participating in a departmental or
university-wide exchange program. Washington State residents eligible
for financial aid (students do
not have to be Pell Grant eligible) may apply. Visit the UW Global Opportunities website in winter quarter for more information.

The next scholarship, the Dow Chemical Foundation
student exchange fund, will provide up to $5000 to UW students
participating in a departmental or university-wide exchange to Asia.
Special consideration is given to STEM majors. For additional
information and criteria, visit our endowed scholarships page.

We are also excited to offer 1-2 scholarships to UW
students participating in the exchange to the University of Canterbury
in New Zealand. While this exchange is open to all majors, our exchanges
in NZ and Australia often attract students
in the sciences (fun fact: our #1 major for students studying in
Australia is Biology!).
Please encourage your students to apply to
university-wide exchanges by the January 15 deadline. If they have
questions about scholarship eligibility or deadlines, please have them
get in touch with us at
studyabroad@uw.edu.
