The Summer 2023, Fall 2023, and Academic Year 2023-2024 Application is closed.
FEA invests in deserving U.S. undergraduates who are least likely to study abroad. More than 100 volunteer reviewers read applications each cycle. In partnership with them, we consider financial need, demographic factors, and academic plan and preparedness to decide our scholarship recipients.
The Summer 2023/Fall 2023/Academic Year 2023-2024 application closed on January 18, 2023. The Spring 2024 application will open in early July.
Financial Need is determined by the FEA Financial Aid Form we provide when you begin an application.
Demographic Factors that are considered include minority background, first-generation college student status, and community college experience.
Academic Plan and Preparedness is determined by your essays, unofficial transcript, and letter of recommendation.
