Scholarship and Funding Information

Study abroad does not have to be out of your reach financially. In fact, if you already receive financial aid most students are able to use part, if not all, of their financial aid for study abroad. Often, a "Contractual Agreement" or "Consortium Agreement" Form is completed by the college and The Center for Cross-Cultural Study for purposes of applying financial aid to your study abroad program. You may contact us at info[at]spanishstudies.org for further information and instructions regarding the transfer of financial aid. Your adviser or your financial aid officer can also assist you with this process. This must be done in advance of payment due dates.

CC-CS Scholarship Program

The Center for Cross-Cultural Study Scholarship Program is open to all students enrolled in CC-CS study abroad programs in Spain, Argentina, and Cuba. 
 
Students may apply to one of the two scholarship options: 
  • CC-CS Merit-Based Scholarship
  • CC-CS Diversity Scholarship
Since 2001, over $100,000 has been awarded to students enrolled in our programs.
 
Award recipients are chosen based on the submission of: an original essay. Please see application for details: Scholarship Program Application
 
Only students who are enrolled in regular CC-CS study abroad programs may receive a scholarship.* All submissions must be received in the CC-CS Amherst, MA office (via e-mail or snail mail) by your CC-CS program's application deadline. Late scholarship applications will not be considered.

CC-CS scholarships are awarded directly to the student. Winners will be notified prior to program departure and will receive a check shortly after the start of their CC-CS program.

Note: Students who are part of special group programs are not eligible for CC-CS Scholarships.

 



CC-CS Alumni Scholarship Fund

The CC-CS Alumni Scholar Fund was developed in 2004 and designed to benefit returning students wishing to embark on an additional cross-cultural adventure with The Center for Cross-Cultural Study. CC-CS now offers all alumni students a stipend to apply towards another CC-CS study abroad experience in Spain, Argentina or Cuba.

Alumni scholarships are as follows:
  • Academic Year: $1,000
  • Semester: $500
  • 7 Week Summer Term: $200
  • 1/2 Week Summer or Winter Terms: $100
Please note that all CC-CS Alumni who choose to attend an additional program with CC-CS will automatically receive the Alumni Scholarship. Alumni who receive an Alumni Scholarship are also eligible to apply for the CC-CS Scholarship Program.

There are many other resources to help you fund your study abroad.

We encourage you to talk to your school or search the internet to research these funding sources.
