Scholarship Overview

Hispanic Students and Study Abroad

We believe that, in today’s increasingly interconnected world, every student should study abroad at some point in his or her college career. It is inevitable that today’s college students will work, partner or compete with people from around the world during the course of their careers.

Right now, Hispanic college students study abroad at about 50% the rate of non-Hispanic students. 

In order to become the global leaders that the United States and the world need, Hispanic students need to be prepared for the opportunities and challenges that globalization presents.

Hispanic Study Abroad Scholars Program

HACU: The Hispanic Association of Colleges & Universities has partnered with Global Learning Semesters to increase the number of Hispanic students engaged in study abroad. Over the next ten years, the goal of our far-reaching partnership, the Hispanic Global Alliance is to reduce this gap and help tens of thousands more Hispanic students study abroad.

The Hispanic Study Abroad Scholars scholarship is one of the main components of our partnership.

Global Learning Semesters has committed to making available at least $8 million in scholarship funds to HACU students over the next ten years.

We believe these scholarships will improve the affordability of study abroad for HACU students – with the HSAS scholarships, some Global Learning Semesters programs are among the best-priced comprehensive study abroad programs in Europe.
