Program Description:
Georgia College students who have submitted a complete application for a credit-bearing study abroad program may apply for the Georgia College Study Abroad Scholarship fund.  Please use this application to apply for the Virginia Daniel Weir, Guy Herbert Wells, Morrarty, Wellington, and Minter study abroad scholarships administered through Georgia College.

Students who wish to apply for the New Horizons Scholarship should not complete this application.  They should only complete the New Horizons Scholarship application; the application to the New Horizon awards will place eligible students in automatic consideration for general GC Study Abroad Scholarship funds.

  • Financial Need: demonstrated financial need
  • Essay: Essays that address questions of academic engagement, global and civic responsibility and have strong grammar, syntax and are well written.
  • Cultural Elements: study abroad programs with greater opportunities for cultural immersion
  • GPA: higher GPAs
If students score well, they may expect to receive up to the following award amounts based on duration of the study abroad program:
