The Education Abroad Office is delighted to announce the continuation of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science (CAHSS) Dean's Scholarship for Education Abroad!

Dean Kimberly Moffitt has pledged to provide a study abroad scholarship to students from every CAHSS department/program to ease the financial burden of this experiential activity, while also demonstrating our responsibility for educating our students to be active in the world they will soon lead.

Award amounts will typically be between $2,500 and $5,000. Applicants must apply to study abroad through UMBC at goabroad.umbc.edu and be degree-seeking UMBC undergraduate or graduate students with at least one major in CAHSS. Applicants must also meet eligibility requirements for UMBC study abroad programs. Preference will be given to students with demonstrated financial need as well as to students applying for UMBC faculty-led or exchange programs.

The current Deadline for students looking to study abroad in upcoming Summer, Fall, Academic Year, Winter, and Spring programs is February 10th. Winter and Spring applicants who are not selected may reapply in September.

Students can start their applications through UMBC's Scholarship Retriever. Contact the Education Abroad Office at <educationabroad@umbc.edu> with any questions
