First Trip Travel Funding for Exchange and Study Abroad Programs
First Trip provides funding for individuals traveling to countries ranked lower than Very High on the United Nations' Annual Human Development Index. Passport vouchers are also available for a select number of individuals with demonstrated financial need. Currently, scholarships are awarded up to $1,500 and are determined by applicant need, destination, and availability of funds. Applicants must be a first-time traveler outside of the US, be enrolled in an accredited US college or university, pursue a college-approved program or travel opportunity in an eligible destination, and provide a brief account of the travel experience upon return. Students enrolled in accredited community colleges are encouraged to apply. Deadline: Rolling https://firsttrip.org/
