Applying for Financial Aid

Students can apply for SFS financial aid once they have been accepted to a program but are encouraged to work on their financial aid application prior to being accepted so that they will be ready to submit the necessary items as soon as possible upon acceptance. Download the SFS Financial Aid Application If you are an international student and/or unable to complete a FAFSA, please use this financial aid application here. [row] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ]

Things To Know Before Applying

 
  • All SFS financial aid (scholarships, grants, and loan options) is need-based. SFS does not offer any merit-based scholarships. SFS will use the information provided on this application to determine your level of financial need and will offer aid based on that assessment.
  • In order to complete the following application, you must have a FAFSA on file with your home institution. Please contact SFS Admissions for further instructions if you are an international student or are not currently enrolled in a college/university.
  • Be sure to ask your study abroad office or financial aid office what financial aid resources might be available at your home institution to support study abroad. It is your responsibility to understand the requirements, deadlines, and additional offerings of your home institution regarding financial aid for study abroad.
  • Aid applications will not be reviewed until students are accepted to a program and the non-refundable Program Commitment Deposit ($500 for semester programs, $250 for summer programs) has been paid.
[/column] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ]

A Complete Aid Application Includes

 
  • SFS Financial Aid Application form
  • Copy of your Student Aid Report (SAR) from FAFSA

Scholarships & Loans

Students who submit an SFS Financial Aid application will automatically be considered for the following scholarships, grants, and loans. Only two scholarships require an additional personal statement (Heritage and Diversity scholarships – see instructions in individual scholarship drop-downs below). [row] [column lg="6" sm="6" ]

SFS Scholarships

[toggles] [toggle title="General Grant" class="in"]All students are eligible to apply for this need-based award. SFS will work with you and your home school to understand and meet your financial need.[/toggle] [toggle title="Trailblazer Grant"]The SFS Trailblazer Grant is available to students who are the first from their home institution to attend an SFS program.[/toggle] [toggle title="The Andreas Family Scholarship Fund"]The Andreas Family Scholarship Fund, made possible by the generosity of the Andreas family, focuses on providing financial aid to students in U.S. public schools who are academically eligible, but may not be able to afford our programs. The Fund's goal is to reduce barriers and broaden the range of students who participate in SFS programs.[/toggle] [toggle title="Pell Grant Match Scholarship"]SFS matches Federal Pell Grant funding for students using their Pell Grant to help pay for the cost of an SFS semester program. Students must complete the SFS Financial Aid Application in order to receive this award. The total award package is not limited to the amount of the Pell Grant; you will also be considered for additional scholarships, travel grants, and loans offered by SFS that could enhance this award.[/toggle] [toggle title="Diversity Scholarship"]SFS was founded with the belief that stewardship of our planet is the responsibility of people around the world and that addressing complex global issues requires the active inclusion of stakeholders with varying perspectives and identities. We recognize that to successfully address threats to our planet, we must look beyond social constructs designed to divide us. Just as we value biodiversity in all its forms, we value diversity in perspective - both from people in the countries where we work and from students who join us in the field. Climate change has a disproportionate impact on low-income communities, communities of color, and other vulnerable populations in the U.S. and around the world. In order to address some of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, SFS seeks to train and amplify the voices of students who represent those communities. Students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad are encouraged to apply for the SFS Diversity Scholarship. Eligibility includes but is not limited to those who identify as a racial or ethnic minority, members of the LGBTQ+ community, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and students from all underrepresented groups or underserved communities. [/toggle] [toggle title="Heritage Scholarship"]This scholarship is available for students with a cultural and ancestral connection to the country in which they plan to study abroad with SFS. This scholarship will help students explore this heritage within the context of environmental research. In order to be considered for our Heritage Scholarship, please attach a personal statement (250-500 words) to your SFS Financial Aid Application indicating how you qualify for this award.[/toggle] [toggle title="Travel Grant"]SFS offers a limited number of travel grants to qualified students to help offset the personal cost of travel to SFS programs.

Applying for Financial Aid

Students can apply for SFS financial aid once they have been accepted to a program but are encouraged to work on their financial aid application prior to being accepted so that they will be ready to submit the necessary items as soon as possible upon acceptance. Download the SFS Financial Aid Application If you are an international student and/or unable to complete a FAFSA, please use this financial aid application here. [row] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ]

Things To Know Before Applying

 
  • All SFS financial aid (scholarships, grants, and loan options) is need-based. SFS does not offer any merit-based scholarships. SFS will use the information provided on this application to determine your level of financial need and will offer aid based on that assessment.
  • In order to complete the following application, you must have a FAFSA on file with your home institution. Please contact SFS Admissions for further instructions if you are an international student or are not currently enrolled in a college/university.
  • Be sure to ask your study abroad office or financial aid office what financial aid resources might be available at your home institution to support study abroad. It is your responsibility to understand the requirements, deadlines, and additional offerings of your home institution regarding financial aid for study abroad.
  • Aid applications will not be reviewed until students are accepted to a program and the non-refundable Program Commitment Deposit ($500 for semester programs, $250 for summer programs) has been paid.

Scholarships & Loans

Students who submit an SFS Financial Aid application will automatically be considered for the following scholarships, grants, and loans. Only two scholarships require an additional personal statement (Heritage and Diversity scholarships – see instructions in individual scholarship drop-downs below). [row] [column lg="6" sm="6" ]

SFS Scholarships

[toggles] [toggle title="General Grant" class="in"]All students are eligible to apply for this need-based award. SFS will work with you and your home school to understand and meet your financial need.[/toggle] [toggle title="Trailblazer Grant"]The SFS Trailblazer Grant is available to students who are the first from their home institution to attend an SFS program.[/toggle] [toggle title="The Andreas Family Scholarship Fund"]The Andreas Family Scholarship Fund, made possible by the generosity of the Andreas family, focuses on providing financial aid to students in U.S. public schools who are academically eligible, but may not be able to afford our programs. The Fund's goal is to reduce barriers and broaden the range of students who participate in SFS programs.[/toggle] [toggle title="Pell Grant Match Scholarship"]SFS matches Federal Pell Grant funding for students using their Pell Grant to help pay for the cost of an SFS semester program. Students must complete the SFS Financial Aid Application in order to receive this award. The total award package is not limited to the amount of the Pell Grant; you will also be considered for additional scholarships, travel grants, and loans offered by SFS that could enhance this award.[/toggle] [toggle title="Diversity Scholarship"]SFS was founded with the belief that stewardship of our planet is the responsibility of people around the world and that addressing complex global issues requires the active inclusion of stakeholders with varying perspectives and identities. We recognize that to successfully address threats to our planet, we must look beyond social constructs designed to divide us. Just as we value biodiversity in all its forms, we value diversity in perspective - both from people in the countries where we work and from students who join us in the field. Climate change has a disproportionate impact on low-income communities, communities of color, and other vulnerable populations in the U.S. and around the world. In order to address some of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, SFS seeks to train and amplify the voices of students who represent those communities. Students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad are encouraged to apply for the SFS Diversity Scholarship. Eligibility includes but is not limited to those who identify as a racial or ethnic minority, members of the LGBTQ+ community, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and students from all underrepresented groups or underserved communities. [/toggle] [toggle title="Heritage Scholarship"]This scholarship is available for students with a cultural and ancestral connection to the country in which they plan to study abroad with SFS.

External Scholarship Opportunities

The funding opportunities below are non-SFS scholarship opportunities; they are not administered by SFS. Please apply directly to the organizations and contact them with any questions you may have. The list does not include awards that may be available through your home school, local foundations, and for-profit companies. The links below provide additional details, such as application requirements, specific award amounts, and advice for submitting a strong application. As you consider these and other funding opportunities, please be cautious of online scholarship scams. Be suspicious of sites or services that charge a fee to locate scholarships or guarantee grants that seem too good to be true. [row] [column lg="7" md="7" sm="7" xs="12" ] [toggles class="yourcustomclass"] [toggle title="The Benjamin A.

SFS awards a generous amount of need-based aid each year.

SFS works closely with your home school to help you fund your SFS program. Many applicants receive aid through their home institutions or other outside sources, so check with your financial aid office to see what aid may apply to an SFS program. All students are welcome to apply for our need-based financial aid. Students who exhibit financial need for their program will be offered SFS financial aid.

SFS Semester scholarships range between $500-$6,000. SFS Summer single scholarships range between $250-$2,500. SFS Summer combined scholarships range from $500-$5,000.

 

Applying for Financial Aid

Students can apply for SFS financial aid once they have been accepted to a program but are encouraged to work on their financial aid application prior to being accepted so that they will be ready to submit the necessary items as soon as possible upon acceptance.

Download the SFS Financial Aid Application
If you are an international student and/or unable to complete a FAFSA, please use this financial aid application here.

Things To Know Before Applying

 

  • All SFS financial aid (scholarships, grants, and loan options) is need-based. SFS does not offer any merit-based scholarships. SFS will use the information provided on this application to determine your level of financial need and will offer aid based on that assessment.
  • In order to complete the following application, you must have a FAFSA on file with your home institution. Please contact SFS Admissions for further instructions if you are an international student or are not currently enrolled in a college/university.
  • Be sure to ask your study abroad office or financial aid office what financial aid resources might be available at your home institution to support study abroad. It is your responsibility to understand the requirements, deadlines, and additional offerings of your home institution regarding financial aid for study abroad.
  • Aid applications will not be reviewed until students are accepted to a program and the non-refundable Program Commitment Deposit ($500 for semester programs, $250 for summer programs) has been paid.

A Complete Aid Application Includes

 

  • SFS Financial Aid Application form
  • Copy of your Student Aid Report (SAR) from FAFSA
  • Documentation of aid received at your home school

How to submit: Students can upload the financial aid application items to their portal via the checklist once accepted to a program.

Financial Aid Application Review Schedule

Applications for SFS financial aid are reviewed in batches twice per month, starting on the dates listed below (check which applies to your session). Early submissions are encouraged, as aid is subject to the availability of funds.

Summer Programs: Review begins in February

Fall Programs: Review begins in April

Spring Programs: Review begins in September


Scholarships & Loans

Students who submit an SFS Financial Aid application will automatically be considered for the following scholarships, grants, and loans. Only two scholarships require an additional personal statement (Heritage and Diversity scholarships – see instructions in individual scholarship drop-downs below).

SFS Scholarships

General Grant

All students are eligible to apply for this need-based award. SFS will work with you and your home school to understand and meet your financial need.

Trailblazer Grant

The SFS Trailblazer Grant is available to students who are the first from their home institution to attend an SFS program.

The Andreas Family Scholarship Fund

The Andreas Family Scholarship Fund, made possible by the generosity of the Andreas family, focuses on providing financial aid to students in U.S. public schools who are academically eligible, but may not be able to afford our programs. The Fund’s goal is to reduce barriers and broaden the range of students who participate in SFS programs.

Pell Grant Match Scholarship

SFS matches Federal Pell Grant funding for students using their Pell Grant to help pay for the cost of an SFS semester program. Students must complete the SFS Financial Aid Application in order to receive this award. The total award package is not limited to the amount of the Pell Grant; you will also be considered for additional scholarships, travel grants, and loans offered by SFS that could enhance this award.

Diversity Scholarship

SFS was founded with the belief that stewardship of our planet is the responsibility of people around the world and that addressing complex global issues requires the active inclusion of stakeholders with varying perspectives and identities.

We recognize that to successfully address threats to our planet, we must look beyond social constructs designed to divide us. Just as we value biodiversity in all its forms, we value diversity in perspective – both from people in the countries where we work and from students who join us in the field.

Climate change has a disproportionate impact on low-income communities, communities of color, and other vulnerable populations in the U.S. and around the world. In order to address some of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, SFS seeks to train and amplify the voices of students who represent those communities.

Students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad are encouraged to apply for the SFS Diversity Scholarship. Eligibility includes but is not limited to those who identify as a racial or ethnic minority, members of the LGBTQ+ community, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and students from all underrepresented groups or underserved communities.

Heritage Scholarship

This scholarship is available for students with a cultural and ancestral connection to the country in which they plan to study abroad with SFS. This scholarship will help students explore this heritage within the context of environmental research. In order to be considered for our Heritage Scholarship, please attach a personal statement (250-500 words) to your SFS Financial Aid Application indicating how you qualify for this award.

Travel Grant

SFS offers a limited number of travel grants to qualified students to help offset the personal cost of travel to SFS programs. If a student is awarded an SFS travel grant, travel arrangements must be made through the SFS-recommended travel agency, Advantage Travel.

External Scholarship Opportunities

The funding opportunities below are non-SFS scholarship opportunities; they are not administered by SFS. Please apply directly to the organizations and contact them with any questions you may have. The list does not include awards that may be available through your home school, local foundations, and for-profit companies. The links below provide additional details, such as application requirements, specific award amounts, and advice for submitting a strong application.

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program

Offers grants of up to $5,000 for undergraduate international experiences, targeting students who have been traditionally underrepresented in education abroad and who already receive federal Pell Grants.
