91°µÍø

CIEE is passionate about increasing access to study abroad. We are committed to breaking down barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture that can prevent participation by students traditionally underrepresented in study abroad programs.  Below are some scholarship and grant opportunities to help diverse or economically challenged students study abroad:

Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship and Frederick Douglass Scholars: Application Deadline - February 14

• Each year, 91°µÍø fully funds a summer program on international leadership and social justice for exceptional diverse student leaders determined to lead change in their communities. This year we will fund 16 Fellows, and we hope that one will be from your school.
• Each year, 91°µÍø provides all  applicants with a $1,500  to attend any 91°µÍø program in the fall, spring, or summer term. This program has enabled scores of students of color to study abroad, and we hope your diverse students will be part of the 2022/23 class.
• Each year, 91°µÍø seeks to encourage college and university presidents to match the FDS Grant of $1,500. In 2020, we had 54 college presidents embrace this global leadership opportunity. Would your president be interested in matching in 2022? Contact Stacy Benjamin, sbenjamin@ciee.org.
