Opportunity Scholarship
Study Abroad Scholarships That Shape Leaders
American Councils’ Opportunity Scholarship is a merit-based award designed to encourage transformative international experiences for American students seeking to strengthen their understanding of critical foreign languages and cultures by attending one of its study and research abroad programs. This scholarship supports high-achieving students who demonstrate academic excellence, the ability to succeed in rigorous global learning environments, and financial need.
American Councils’ study abroad programming cultivates a globally competent American citizenry equipped with foreign language skills, cultural intelligence, and analytical abilities essential for success in complex international contexts. Study abroad not only strengthens individual academic and professional career trajectories but also contributes to U.S. competitiveness and international credibility. Students benefit from an educational experience that goes far beyond what their home institution can provide alone, learning confidence and resilience and gaining a future beyond borders.
Students from across the United States, including those who have never studied abroad before, are encouraged to apply.
