New program & scholarship through UK Partner, IFSA-Butler, make studying abroad possible for everyone.
First, IFSA-Butler's "Fill the GAP" program allows students to set up a savings account in which family, friends & local groups may deposit money. Not only is this an easy tool for community-based fundraising, but IFSA-Butler will also match these funds up to $1,000! Visit their website for details & more information on this program.
Second, IFSA-Butler is now offering scholarships of up to $2,500 for First Generation College Students. This scholarship can cover many of the up-front costs associated with study abroad including passport, visa & airfare expenses. Also, IFSA-Butler offers post-study abroad resume building workshops to recipients of their First Generation Scholar Program.
Education Abroad at UK works with IFSA-Butler in England, Ireland, Egypt & the United Arab Emirates.
