The University of North Alabama’s mission is to be Innovative, Inclusive, Engaged, Evolving, and Global. Education Abroad includes all of these values, and UNA offers Education Abroad Scholarships to support our students’ international experiences. The anticipated award of individual scholarships for the year 2024-2025 is $1000; however, the exact scholarship award may vary based on the number of applications received and the availability of funds.    

Students are eligible to apply if they meet all of the following criteria:  

• The student has been accepted into one of the following Education Abroad programs:  

• A credit-bearing, faculty-led Education Abroad program approved by the sponsoring academic college;  

• A credit-bearing exchange program through ISEP or with one of UNA's bilateral exchange partners; or  

• A credit-bearing direct enrollment program at an accredited or government-approved university abroad.  

• The student has an institutional GPA of at least 3.0.  

• The student is enrolled full-time in a degree-seeking program.  

• Students who have received the Education Abroad Scholarship in the past are eligible to apply; however, preference will be given to first-time education abroad students.   

The scholarship application deadline for the 2024-2025 academic year is January 31, 2025.  The application requires students to upload an essay and unofficial transcripts. Students will be notified of their application status by email and will then have a limited time to accept the scholarship award.
