Study Abroad Scholarships by Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE)

For many students, a study abroad experience is only possible with financial assistance. Each year CIEE awards scholarships and grants to students who plan to study overseas. Please read the eligibility criteria and the application procedures for each scholarship carefully.

Competition for the CIEE scholarships and grants is keen and the quality of the materials submitted is very important. The scholarship application procedure is entirely independent from the CIEE program application.

Students should discuss all financial aid planning with their campus financial aid and study abroad advisor. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that their scholarship application is complete.

How do I apply?
A complete scholarship application contains the following items and must be submitted together:

  • A complete scholarship application and financial aid administrator form.
  • A 500-word, typed scholarship essay that includes:
    • The CIEE program, location, and term(s) for which you are applying
    • The names of every CIEE scholarship for which you are applying
    • Your objectives for your time overseas with CIEE
    • Details of your financial need and how the scholarship will assist you in meeting your individual goals
    • Describe any extenuating circumstances that may be relevant in the consideration of your scholarship application
  • Applicants should also review the eligibility requirements for each award as there may be additional factors specific to the award to include in your essay. Failure to include these additional requirements in your statement could jeopardize your scholarship application.

Master Scholarships, Euroculture, Erasmus Mundus, Europe

The Erasmus Mundus MA programme Euroculture is a unique, multilingual, interdisciplinary and inter-university project. Its aim is to prepare graduates from Europe and third-countries for professions in which knowledge of present Europe and European Union institutions are of relevance. The focus of the programme is on cultural and social developments: its inheritance as well as its standards, values and citizenship. Because of the multidisciplinary studies approach, the Euroculture programme stands out from many other European Regional Studies programmes. From the beginning of the programme in 1999, Euroculture was used as a concept to reflect in an interdisciplinary way on the many different expressions and manifestations of self-understandings of societies, social groups and individuals of, about and within Europe. Its core questions are:

Whether, to what extent and in which forms does a common and unique European culture exist and how is it related to other regional or non-European cultures?
How is Europe and how are cultural transformations perceived within Europe and from the outside?
What is the mutual impact of political and social processes on European culture(s) and culture(s) in Europe?

These questions are discussed and analysed in an interdisciplinary setting which includes the knowledge of historical perspectives, political issues, social relations, legal issues and religious traditions. Through the exchange with other European universities, the Euroculture Master of Arts programme also offers the chance to gain experience with other languages, perspectives and cultural practices. As of September/October 2006, the load of the programme is 90 ECTS-credits, which equals 16 months of full time study. The Euroculture programme brings together some 120 students who have to pass a selection procedure to be admitted. The programme is taught in the native language and/or in English and is open to students who have successfully completed a university BA programme in the fields of European Studies, History, Theology, Linguistics, Literature, Philosophy, International Relations, Law, Cultural studies, Anthropology, Psychology or Sociology.

Max Weber Fellowships, European University Institute, Europe

The Max Weber Programme is Europe’s largest postdoctoral programme in the social sciences and humanities. It is funded by the European Commission (DG Education and Culture) and hosted by the European University Institute in Florence where the research community of professors, researchers and fellows provides an excellent environment for the Programme.

The Programme, open to all nationalities, is designed for junior post-docs who have received a doctorate in economics, law, history, social and political sciences, or a related field, within the last 5 years and who want to advance in their research and academic training, in an active multidisciplinary environment before entering the international job market, or in the early stages of their academic careers.

Fellows are selected on the basis of their research accomplishments and potential, their academic career interests, and the availability of the EUI faculty to provide mentorship.

Fellows are supported and encouraged to pursue their research agendas and participate in the research activities of the EUI, and in particular, the research activities of the Max Weber Programme and of the EUI Departments with which they are affiliated.

The Max Weber Programme, hosted in the beautiful Villa La Fonte, provides excellent research facilities, a range of activities to improve communication skills (writing, presentation and teaching), and actively supports Fellows looking for an academic job; for those interested, it offers a range of teaching-training possibilities (within the EUI, Florence and abroad), and it organizes multidisciplinary research workshops and discussions on different aspects of academic careers. Many of these activities are organized by the Fellows themselves. All these elements (see the Programme of Activities for more details) make the Max Weber Fellowship a unique and productive multicultural and multidisciplinary personal and intellectual experience at the beginning of a promising academic career.

As a service to the academic community at large – especially to those starting an academic career in the social sciences and humanities – the Programme hosts the Academic Careers Observatory
