Deadlines and Award Timelines

We highly recommend that you submit your application at least one week before the application deadline to ensure that you do not miss the deadline as a result of technical difficulties with your equipment/network or as a result of heavy network traffic on the Foundation web site!

Please note the following:

• There is about a 60 day window in which to apply for a scholarship.  Check the table below for exact dates.  Be sure you are applying in the correct award period for your program start date (the date classes begin in country, not travel or orientation dates). Your application will not be considered if you apply in the wrong award period!
• Because of the time necessary for the scholarship committee to score scholarship applications, your program may begin before you know if you have been selected to receive an award or not.
• Applicants are notified about 30 days from the application deadline (depending on application volumes) whether they will receive a scholarship or not.
• Scholarship recipients will not receive their scholarship check before they begin their study abroad program.  This is because confirmation of your participation in classes, in country, for one full week must be received by the Foundation before your check will be mailed to your permanent address provided on your application.  (Electronic funds transfer is not available for a scholarship to be deposited into your bank account.) Additionally, full payment of your program fees is required before your scholarship check will be mailed. 
• All decisions regarding scholarship awards are those of the Foundation and are final.
