Awards and Scholarships

  • First Trip Funding for Trips Outside the US

    First Trip provides funding for individuals traveling to countries ranked lower than Very High on the United Nations' annual Human Development Index. Currently, scholarships are awarded up to $1,500. Awards are determined by applicant need, destination, and availability of funds. Applicants must be a first-time traveler outside of the US, 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 to the US. Passport vouchers are also available for a select number of individuals with demonstrated financial need. Students enrolled in accredited community colleges are encouraged to apply.
