The Start the Adventure Scholarship was born out of a desire by STA Travel to recognize both student and institution. Thus, $2500 is awarded to a deserving student and a matching donation of $2500 is made to the student's home university or college to award to an additional student of their choice for study abroad, thereby making each scholarship twice as powerful.

The STA Travel Start the Adventure timeline for students who will begin their study abroad programs between January and June 2016 is as follows:

Application Opens: Monday, October 12, 2015 (before 5 PM MDT)

Application Deadline: Friday, November 6, 2015, 5 PM MDT

Award Announced: Wednesday, December 30, 2015 (before 5 PM MDT, subject to change)

Applications for the award will take place through the regular FGS application channel at the link below:
https://www.fgscholars.org/sta-start-the-adventure-scholarship/

The top three applicants will be interviewed by STA Travel staff.  Applicants should be:

1. Willing to be an advocate for meaningful travel, international education, and equal access to these opportunities for fellow students
2. Creative in demonstrating how you advocate for meaningful travel and international education
3. Able to answer the question: “Why is it important for students to participate in international education programs?"

Final selection of the scholarship recipient will be made by STA Travel.

The staff of the Study Abroad Office is happy to help students plan for the academic program overseas that best meets their academic needs and geographic interests. We do so during our regularly scheduled walk-in advising hours. We can see students during these hours only. 

We also want to gently remind you that all students must attend a session of Study Abroad 101 prior to coming to walk-in hours. These sessions are held twice a week, every week, throughout the semester. They are held on Mondays at noon, Thursdays at 3:00 pm in 218 Administration. 

If you have just a quick question, it is far better to e-mail the Study Abroad Office at <sao [at] umbc [dot] edu>. We strive to answer all messages within 24 hours.

For 2015-16, two Fellows will be selected. 

Scholars are awarded a scholarship of up to $1,500. In 2015-16, Scholars will engage in service connected with Baltimore City; support meaningful professional development, participate in meetings, and serve as ambassadors of service at UMBC. For 2015-16, five Scholars will be selected.
