Global Student Travel Award
Global education is an essential component of the student experience in a progressively interconnected world. Yet, limited access and lack of financial resources prevent many students from these opportunities.
The Global Student Travel Award is a university wide initiative, led by Atlanta Global Partnerships in the Office of Global Strategy and Initiatives, that seeks to address this need by providing stipends for students who have exhausted available Emory resources to undertake an Emory-supported global educational experience.
Supported travel related global educational experiences may include, and not limited to, independent study or existing Emory programs such as study abroad, fellowships, conferences, internships, workshops, seminars, archival research, field research, other research, and educational collaborations.
Students may apply for funding up to $1200. Additional funding will be considered based on students’ demonstrated need or request and available funding. Students must demonstrate that they have sought all other available resources at Emory and indicate the need for additional funds.
Students who identify as being from historically excluded groups/under-represented minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be currently enrolled Emory students (includes graduate and undergraduate).
- Applicants must be in good academic standing.
- Applicants must receive financial aid. Undergraduate and graduate international students who are receiving need based financial funding are also eligible on a case-by-case basis and are encouraged to apply.
The funds must be spent on academic travel-related expenses only.
Applicants who have previously applied to the Emory Free Passport Initiative will receive priority.
The application cycle is currently closed. Fall 2024 application cycle TBA.
