Scholarships for students who want to study overseas

Introducuing Youth For Understanding (YFU) – YFU is one of the world’s oldest, largest, and most respected international exchange organizations.

Their site has a number of full and partial scholarship  opportunities for students who want to live and study overseas.

Note: To be eligible for a YFU scholarship, you must meet the eligibility requirements listed in the Scholarship Information Sheets for the program to which you are applying.

Generally, applicants must be between the ages of 15 and 18, maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA for a year or semester program or 2.0 GPA for a summer program, and be in good health. You will also need to complete some additional paperwork, have a medical exam, submit photos, and be interviewed by a YFU volunteer.

For most YFU countries, you don’t need to know the language, although some countries do require previous language study.
