NSHSS Study Abroad Scholarships: Summer 2018

For many students exploring new ideas in the summer, studying abroad is a great way to travel to a foreign country and earn a new perspective on the world. But beyond traveling, studying abroad is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn more about the world, gain unique experience in different cultural lifestyles, learn a foreign language, and broaden your resume experience.

In today’s globalized world, having cultural awareness and speaking more than one language can be a huge advantage to certain opportunities as you enter a more competitive job market. Meanwhile, exploring summer study abroad scholarships and programs prior to entering college will better prepare you to work with people from all backgrounds while in college or on a university campus. Study abroad also builds other personal qualities, enabling students to thrive independently and adapt to new environments.

At NSHSS, we currently have several opportunities for Summer 2018 study abroad scholarships. So if you’re looking to soak in your international study experience over the summer, even before regular classes start, you have multiple options! While most of our opportunities are for students 18 and older, we do have scholarships available to volunteer with United Planet that is open to students 16 and older.
