FAFSA and Study Abroad
EWU Global helps to ensure that students attend international institutions that accept FAFSA. Fill out your FAFSA as usual before your study abroad adventure! Please note that financial aid information must be submitted three months in advance of your departure.
Don't forget to check the homepage of the specific program you are interested in; sometimes they will offer scholarship opportunities as well!
EWU Ortiz Scholarship
Thanks to a generous EWU alumnus who feels her life was changed by her study abroad experience, EWU students can apply for the Ortiz Scholarship, which provides $1,000 towards study abroad costs. In 2022, two awards will be given--one to a student who has postponed a trip due to COVID-19 and one to a student newly-applying for study abroad. In future years, one award per year will be given.
Students must be eligible to study abroad through EWU. In addition, students can be undergraduate or graduate students. They must be sophomores standing at the time that their study abroad will begin. They can have any major or minor. They can plan a study abroad trip during any quarters (Fall, Winter, Spring, and/or Summer). They must maintain a minimum of a 2.8 GPA. They must demonstrate financial need for this scholarship.
The Global Programs Academic Committee (GPAC) at EWU will evaluate applications, choose, and then contact the winner of the scholarship. If you have any questions, you can contact GPAC chair Dr. Liya Deng at ldeng@ewu.edu and Xiuqin Bai at xbai@ewu.edu.
The current deadline is November 4, 2022.
