Students, please note: The Center for Global Studies does not provide internal scholarships, mini-grants, or funding of any kind at this time that pays for study abroad tuition, travel expenses, visas, or any other related cost. Financial aid is a possibility to pay for study abroad* opportunities for the Fall and Spring semesters. Financial aid can only be utilized to pay for study abroad opportunities that are credit-bearing, accredited, and in compliance with Financial Aid’s regulations. If you have any questions regarding study abroad session, please email SAkiwumi@Bennett.edu.
*Study Abroad is defined as a credit-bearing opportunity from an accredited institution. Study abroad does NOT include internships, trips abroad, volunteer trips, summer excursions, or research groups. If you are unsure whether your trip falls within these guidelines, please email us at studyabroad@bennett.edu for assistance.
Students are eligible to receive financial aid (including loans, grants, and scholarships, if available) towards the cost of any study abroad program if the courses fulfill degree requirements and the student is taking the equivalent of a full-time course load at Bennett College. Full-time enrollment requirements are outlined by the Financial Aid Office.
- Qualifying students typically receive a combination of loans and grants.
- FAFSA should be completed as soon as available.
- Student must submit documentation of approved trip from the Study Abroad Office prior to contacting the financial aid office.

Please refer students to our office after you have approved their study abroad trips. We will need to meet on what is required documentation from your office and then we can discuss what our office will need.
