    FEA invests in deserving US undergraduates who are least likely to study abroad. They consider financial need, demographic factors, and academic plan and preparedness to decide scholarship recipients. Demographic factors that are considered include minority background, first-generation college student status, and community college experience. Candidates must be: US citizens or permanent residents, currently enrolled as an undergraduate at a college or university in the US (graduate students are ineligible), and slated for a study abroad program that is eligible for credit at the student’s home institution and lasts at least 28 days in country/countries. The application period will be November 22, 2023-February 7, 2024 https://fundforeducationabroad.org/apply/
