Travel Scholarships & Financial Resources

Everything You Need to Know About Scholarships

The short answer: Anyone! One perk of volunteer programs is that they’re not typically tied to enrollment at colleges, universities, or other educational institutions. Your helpful hands can be a of use regardless of your age—and volunteer abroad scholarships can be extended to any volunteer of any age.

The longer answer: While anyone can volunteer abroad, oftentimes, scholarships to do so are geared towards current high school students and recent graduates, or current college students. But fear not, aspiring non-traditional international volunteers! If you’re in between jobs or just need a break from the monotony of life—but aren’t currently an undergraduate student or teenager—there are also loads of travel scholarships available for you to peruse, too.

Pro tip: Being enrolled in a formal volunteer program is a solid strategy to increase your chances of winning funding for your trip abroad. It’s time to apply for (and win, duh!) travel scholarships for future volunteers!
